Act 1 Scene 3 was read on to Macbeth's first reaction - 19 lines alone answered correctly - but both side-notes-only paraphrases needed narrowing and the cold plot retell gave one sentence of three. Ran the 11:00 Macbeth block 11:05-12:05 (60 min, one 2-minute break at 11:35); stopped on the clock at 12:00 with the reading mid-scene. Listen-along of Sc 1-3 planned for Thursday: not done. Starter, no notes, 4 items, 11:11-11:35: spellings street, eerie, connected right and 'farther' for father (3/4); the witches' three titles 3/3; Banquo's prophecy correct (with 'father' spelled right); plot in three sentences - one sentence given (kills to become king). Built on by question: what Macbeth does to Banquo drew a non-answer; a friend-or-threat choice was answered at once and she then derived the murder herself ('killes'); the ending (he dies) came at once. 2 of 4 starter items fully right, under the 3/4 success line. After the break she read Ross's speech to Banquo's 'devil' line alone (about 19 lines, 3 minutes) and named the new title correctly. Side-notes-only paraphrase: 'borrowed robes' first answered as his feeling (confused), right after one either/or; 'The greatest is behind' read as bad times coming, then 'Thane of Glamis' after one hint, then king hereafter from a fill-the-list prompt - 0/2 first time, 2/2 after narrowing. Clothing image named by the tutor, not asked back. 14 items set, 14 attempted, 0 blank, 1 initial non-answer. Close written by her but it did not say what she did. Not run: third paraphrase, the storm-and-witches question, three-quote ask-back, Act 1 summary, exit recall questions, rest of Scene 3.
FIRST (next Macbeth block): the two book-closed recall questions cut today (what 'borrowed robes' means; which title is 'the greatest'), one per message. Starter, no notes, a time stated on each: spell father, kills, witches; what Macbeth does to Banquo and why; the plot in three sentences. Then finish Act 1 Scene 3 from Macbeth's 'horrid image' aside to the end in 12-19 line chunks, each with a one-line setup and one countable question; for each key line she types the side note's meaning of the hard word first, then paraphrases. Then Act 1 so far in three sentences, the open question on why Shakespeare opens with a storm and witches (cue beside it, a full minute), and her three quotes asked back. Keep the starter under ten minutes by the clock. STILL OPEN from 29 Sep for the next poem block: My Last Duchess read, her three plan lines alone, the 8-minute unaided paragraph, the London context teach.
Exit recall (2 questions, book closed) not run at the 12:00 stop; Act 1 Scene 3 unread from Macbeth's 'horrid image' aside to the end; third side-notes paraphrase, the storm-and-witches question, the three-quote ask-back and the Act 1 three-sentence summary not run.
| Topic | Name | Change | Evidence recorded |
|---|---|---|---|
| S1.1 | Developing → Developing | Act 1 Sc 3: Ross's speech to Banquo's 'devil' line read alone with a one-line setup (about 19 lines, 3 min); new title named correctly, 1/1 ('thane of cawdor'). Cold after 4 days, no notes: three titles 3/3, Banquo's prophecy correct. Side-notes-only paraphrase 0/2 first time, 2/2 after narrowing. About 50 lines of the scene now read alone in three chunks. | |
| S1.2 | Gap → Gap | Plot in three sentences asked cold after 4 days: one sentence given (kills to become king). Banquo's murder: non-answer on the open question, then derived by her after a friend/threat choice. Ending (he dies) at once when asked directly. 2 of 3 beats unaided, 1 prompted; exit ticket not run, so stays gap. | |
| S4.1 | Gap → Gap | opened - taught only (second motif). 'Borrowed robes': first answer gave Macbeth's feeling (confused); 'someone else's clothes' reached after one either/or. The clothing image as a pattern was then stated by the tutor, not asked back. No unaided item; the foul/fair sentence with no frame was not asked. | |
| K6.1 | Gap → Gap | Cold, no notes: street, eerie, connected correct (each wrong on or before 1 Oct); 'farther' for father in the list, then 'father' correct in her next answer. 3/4. In production: 'killes', 'kill' for kills, lower-case 'macbeth' and 'thane of cawdor'. 0 names misspelled. |
