What happened

The learner chose and explained one word cold on a fresh passage (word plus suggestion, reader effect after one narrowing question), then gave two more quotations with event inferences but no word focus and no reader effect. Reading block 15:46-16:27, after the 14:30 timed paper. Starter, no notes, 4/4: own attitude rule 'how the writer expresses their feeling towards something' (feelings and topic present; 9 Oct missed the topic); through 1/1; actually 1/1 at second ask (tutor's first cue was ambiguous); their 1/1. Tutor-written Gran/letter passage, no step words: 'shoved' chosen unprompted, 'very ferce', about the wind not Gran; reader effect 'something bad or really good' after one narrowing question. Two more quotations in 8 min: buttoned coat -> stopped by the letter; cold tea -> there an hour. 0/2 single word, 0/2 reader effect, 0/2 feelings. Slips: ferce, wat, discribed, so for see. 7 set, 7 answered, 0 blank. Closing line: 'I looked at a text and now it's free time.' No status changes. Session 97's story task stays open for Monday. The lesson review follows in a separate call because the single call returned Bad Gateway.

Planned next

NEXT READING BLOCK: on the Gran passage again, cold, no model: pick ONE word from the cold-tea sentence or the buttoned coat and say what it suggests about how Gran FEELS (put 'feels' in the question), then what the reader feels; either/or only after a full minute. Then three quotations on a fresh short passage, ten minutes, no step words. Starter: attitude rule again; spell fierce, described. NEXT WRITING BLOCK (Mon 19 Oct): FIRST finish 12 Oct's story task (session 97), then description versus story and one still paragraph on her shoe or the Greek sign. Timed description only after that paragraph.
