- again very engaged and asking lots of questions - Jack was more open than before about his opinions and ideas for appropriating - identified how tragic conventions applied to characters in Romeo and Juliet - has a drive to do well! - has unique ideas, e.g. writing a prologue (suggested in the form of poetry) which not many students would think of

- needs a bit of motivation to think creatively - needs a confidence boost in terms of expressing his ideas and opinions in english - needs to pull apart themes within R&J that are less general than tragedy and love (e.g. fate vs. freewill which we discussed in the lesson). This will help come up with a more unique appropriation that stands out from other students

Homework was completed to a satisfactory standard. Very happy with quote selection, context, and some analysis. Comes with practice. Very engaged today as well, asking many questions. Jack is very quick with the Year 9 maths so far (for Financial Maths). He answers the questions very confidently. He also picked up on Simple Interest very quickly, and was able to answer complex questions without alot of practice.

Homework was completed to a satisfactory standard. Need to work on purpose of the technique, analysis, and not repeating himself. Despite confidence in math, he needs to review his answer and working out before submitting it. Even if he has the correct answer, he should make it easier for the marker to decipher (hence GUESSS strategy).

- Jack was very engaged this lesson, and even asked me some questions without prompt - identifying types of context - understanding the purpose of a technique - understanding why context is important - applying TEPCA to Romeo and Juliet

- identifying techniques for quotes - understanding when to apply context and how to apply it to Romeo and Juliet - understanding how to use context to develop deeper textual knowledge/analysis

- quick learner - understands what needs to be done - binomial expansion, collecting like terms, application of some index laws - identifying key themes - understanding the purpose of an essay

- applying his understanding of what needs to be done - READ the question CAREFULLY - SIMPLIFY answers after binomial expansion. Understand there are steps following the expansion - analysing a quote and choosing the correct evidence, as well as identifying the literary technique associated with the quote - hone in on the authorial intent and audience impact in the analysis section of the paragraph. big marks come from this to elevate essay quality
