Ten optional supplementary… | Year 9 English · T1 W3–4 · Daily Extras

Try one later in class or at home with ordinary paper or a spoken response. These are optional and do not require a recording, device, family interview or public post. A quick self-check names the principle, not a single required voice. Days 15/20 occur after the first check response.

Day	Optional five-to-ten-minute task	Self-check
11	Write three Text A sentences connected by `first`, `later` and a source-limited final phrase.	Time order matches 9:00 → 9:20 → 9:35; the later effect remains unknown.
12	Read a paragraph you wrote earlier and underline every `it` or `this`; replace one with a noun phrase if a new reader might hesitate.	The replacement clearly names an earlier thing/idea without changing facts.
13	From Text E's theatre card, turn “the stage manager moved the rehearsal” into a compact noun phrase, then put the actor back.	“The move” is compact after the actor/action has been introduced.
14	Give a fictitious lantern notice a one-line title and three short sentences that state what was logged and what remains unknown.	Title is accurate; no invented approval, visitor total or success claim.
15	After check: unpack “the count” in the sports card into who counted what and when.	Team counted eight before and seven after; borrowing/cause not recorded.
16	In Text D, replace “the silence felt heavier” with a literal line; compare the mood change.	Literal line can report they did not speak; neither version measures weight.
17	Write two uses of `the change`: one with a clear preceding action, one deliberately vague; explain which better serves an absent reader.	Reader can identify a specific earlier event only in the clear version.
18	From Text E's music card, write one `after` sentence and one `however` sentence.	`After` orders the posting/question; `however` can introduce missing final programme, not invent an outcome.
19	Add one new image or detail to your Day19 scene, then remove one sentence that tells the reader a feeling without showing it.	Saved before/after line shows a deliberate effect; no fixed emotion is required.
20	After check: revise “The improvement solved the issue” using the seed-swap note and one exact observable action.	Label shift and visitor question are recorded; whether it solved anything is unknown.
