My Last Duchess: the visitor and the warning came cold and the paragraph's third sentence was written with no starter; London's background was taught and confirmed, but both unaided why-sentences on its images missed the idea until narrowed. Ran block 14, 11:00-11:52 (52 min), no break; overdue maths homework 8 named at the open. Starter, no notes, 11:05-11:10: visitor and who sent him right; the warning given as the demand ('treat his gifs obove all else'), the consequence ('she will be killed') after one narrow question (told by the tutor on 8 Oct); London first line exact with capital I. Why sentence set 11:10 alone, 2-minute limit, no starter: 'Browning makes the reader feel like the Duke is too proud' arrived 11:35; the 25 minutes were not asked about. London background, CGP guide open, one item per message, 11:35-11:40: 1794; Blake blames priests and king; the two lines found with line numbers and exact words - 3/3 first time. Confirmation, book closed: a two-part question drew the blame half only, the year when re-asked alone - 2/2. Unaided, book closed, cue beneath, no narrowing first: why blood on the palace walls - a what-then-why sentence, Blake as subject, 5 min on a 2-minute limit, with a detail not in the poem (soldiers killed there for disobeying); 'the king' at once to 'whose fault'. Why the church is black'ning: 'to show the darkness in the king body'; 'failing the children' from a two-way choice. One full sentence of her own: both earlier answers returned unchanged plus one right new clause. 16 asks, 16 answered, 0 blank, 0 'I don't know'. Close: one line, not two. Not run: 'the Duke's power' into sentence one, the break, any spelling retype. Home reading set at close: London and its notes once before Thursday. Session 86's why sentence, cold recall of the ending and London context are done; its sentence-one fix is carried forward. Sessions 62, 72, 96 stay open.
NEXT POEM BLOCK (Thu 15 Oct). Starter cold, one per message, never two-part: year London was published; who Blake blames; what happens to the Duke's next wife. FIRST: rebuild the London sentence in a fresh message, one image at a time, nothing pasted from 13 Oct: guide open, what the soldier's sigh is, then why Blake puts blood on the palace walls; same for the black'ning church. Then My Last Duchess sentence one: fix dropped words, add 'the Duke's power'. Retype: priests, soldiers, because, gifts, above. Take the break. Set The Prelude extract as home reading. HOME READING set 13 Oct: London and its notes once. NEXT MACBETH BLOCK (Mon 19 Oct), as set 12 Oct: ten plot steps cold in a new chat, nothing on screen, 8 min, step 7 with 'born of a woman'; then character cards; spell ghost, friend, decide, panics; ask if Act 1 Sc 3 was read. Home reading: Save My Exams plot summary.
My Last Duchess sentence one still has dropped words and no 'the Duke's power' (carried from 8 Oct). London: clean rebuild of the palace-walls and black'ning-church sentence owed - her final sentence kept both corrected errors. No break taken; no spelling retype run.
