| 2026-10-23 | Developing → Developing | 23 Oct: cold, no model, no contrast pair shown: clawed vs blew - 'like a wild animal'; swallowed vs covered - 'a hungry beast' (2/2 beyond the plain meaning). Fresh passage: 3/3 word named, suggestions valid on crept and decide, 'living thing' reused on thicker. First unaided instance at the band; second needed on a different task in another session. | session 135 |
| 2026-10-21 | Developing → Developing | 21 Oct: 'suggests' lines literal on 3 of 3 fresh quotations ('tide has gone out', 'wind is strong', 'sand full of water'); no single word isolated though she quoted 'clawed'. On her own paper words the suggestions were valid (eating the landscape, fast and thick). Reader lines inferential. About 4/6 on the Q2 shape. | session 129 |
| 2026-10-21 | Developing → Developing | paper #10 Q3: 3/6, loss=technique — word choice read well ('swallowed' = eating the landscape, 'pour' = fast and thick) | session 125 |
| 2026-10-16 | Developing → Developing | 16 Oct: cold tea with 'feels' in the question - 'tea' unprompted, calming, 'worried or worked up' after one narrowing question (no either/or), reader 'sorry for gran' unaided. Coat, no hints: 'sad' then an event, no word. Fresh passage, 3 quotations unaided, no step words, 15 min: 0/3 word, 0/3 feeling, 0/3 reader. 'under' - wet - reader cold and impatient with 'feels' stated. | session 112 |
| 2026-10-14 | Developing → Developing | 14 Oct, fresh tutor-written passage, cold, no model, no step words: chose single word 'shoved' unprompted, suggestion 'very ferce', reader effect only after one narrowing question. Next two quotations unaided, 8 min: 0/2 single word, 0/2 reader effect, events inferred not feelings. | session 107 |
| 2026-10-09 | Developing → Developing | Session 91, 9 Oct, June 2017 bus extract, unaided, no step words, 10 min: 3 quotations, 0/3 comments beyond the literal, 0/3 reader effect. After one worked example on another sentence: all 3 parts with a starter ('horribly' - extremely wet - some readers feel sorry), then all 3 on a self-chosen word, no starter, model still visible ('meaningless' - same look - reader feels they're all unhappy). Retrieval outcome: retry. | standalone |
| 2026-10-07 | Developing → Developing | Exam practice 7 Oct Q2: no quotation selected and no comment on effect written under the timer ('skip', 0 min on focus). Set, not answered; 0/8. | session 84 |
| 2026-10-07 | Developing → Developing | 7 Oct: set, not answered - three quotations from June 2017 lines 6-14 (bus journey), one fixed as the plain sentence 'Her feet were horribly wet', ten minutes, no step words; set at 14:31 and she left for the timed paper before replying. No evidence either way. | session 82 |
| 2026-10-05 | Developing → Developing | 5 Oct starter, 5th cold ask, no notes: 'Word is what, how and why.' (0/3 steps named). On 'The wind clawed at the door', one question per step: suggests 'it's attacking something' 1/1; reader 'the wind is the door's enemy' 1/1. Asked to name what she had just done: 0/3 again (what / how / why). Names given again against her own answers. 'clawed' was also the 21 Sep example, so not a fresh word. | session 74 |
| 2026-10-02 | Developing → Developing | 2 Oct warm-up, fresh quotation, steps not mentioned in the instruction: quotation, what it suggests, what the reader feels — 3 of 3, unaided. Resit paper 2 h 20 later: quotation, literal comment, reader effect. | session 69 |
| 2026-10-02 | Developing → Developing | Test #5, 2 Oct: on an unseen source with no cue the language answer had 0 quotations and none of the three steps; second paper running (30 Sep: one quotation, literal comment, no chain). | session 66 |
| 2026-09-30 | Developing → Developing | Placement paper 30 Sep, language question 2/8 (Level 1), unaided, timed window: one quotation, literal comment ('the storm has started'), 0 of 3 chain steps applied to a word — no 'suggests', no reader. 2 sentences in 16 min. No status change from marking. | session 59 |
| 2026-09-25 | Not started → Developing | Adjudication (parent project, 25 Sep) of the proposal left on 21 Sep: taught 11 Sep (session 20, three-step chain unaided on tutor lines); 21 Sep session 37, June 2023 Source A, ten-minute clock: 2/2 remaining chains unaided and three-step, ~L2 each, plus the supported 18 Sep chain — three chains on one real source. Developing bar met. The 11 Sep audit reversion also cited a level skip that is not one (gap and notstarted share level 0). | standalone |
| 2026-09-25 | Not started → Not started | 25 Sep starter, 4th ask, no notes: 'why the writer used the word / what effects the word has / how the word makes the reader feel' — reader step now present unprompted, middle step ('what the word suggests') still not named. Given again. | session 47 |
| 2026-09-23 | Not started → Not started | 23 Sep starter: asked to name the three chain steps cold, answered 'What? How? Why?' (the paragraph shape). With both ends given (word → ??? → effect on reader), she gave 'what the writer ment' for the middle step. Third time of asking; still not named unprompted. | session 42 |
| 2026-09-21 | Not started → Not started | 21 Sep, June 2023 Source A, ten-minute clock: 2/2 remaining chains unaided and three-step (hairline→bald→looks funny; panting→tired→look away), ~L2 each; with Friday's supported chain, 3 chains now on one real source. Starter: chain on 'clawed' ran unaided; the three step names needed two binary prompts. Proposed developing pending adjudication (target band not yet confirmed on the subject row). | session 37 |
| 2026-09-18 | Not started → Not started | 18 Sep, June 2023 Source A Q2, 10 min unaided: 3 quotes chosen from the right lines, 0 chains, ~2/8 L1. One chain then built with 3 prompts ('skin disease' -> ugly -> reader steps back), ~L2. Starter chain on 'gnawed' ran fully after a reminder of what Q2 is. Not yet a full supported answer at the band below target. | session 32 |
| 2026-09-11 | Developing → Not started | audit: promotion in session 20 unsupported — no score/number recorded in the review's evidence for the developing bar, and it skipped a level (notstarted→developing, bypassing gap). Session 20's chat is unavailable in this environment, so no score could be found; reverted per the promotion-without-number rule. | standalone |
| 2026-09-11 | Not started → Developing | Full three-step chain unaided first attempt: 'clawed' → pier fighting the waves and losing → reader sees it as alive and failing. Repeated on an unseen exit-ticket line ('twitching' → hoping not to be noticed → reader feels watched), third step after one prompt. A third example ('gnawed') took three prompts to land on 'thin' not 'broken'. | session 20 |
