This block runs as a short Monday–Tuesday start, then a break while G11 Juniors are out (Wed 11-04 to Fri 11-06), then a full week. A3 is announced on Tuesday 3 November, the last session both halves of the class attend before the deadline, so attendance that day matters.
How it runs
- Day 1 · Mon 2 Nov ·
U3·L11— Heda: the still life as inventory. Name every object and who owns it. - Day 2 · Tue 3 Nov ·
U3·L12— A3 announced (Unit 3 essay, due Thu 19 Nov) in the first ten minutes. Then Heda again, the same painting, taken further than yesterday. LB5 posted. Then three days out. - Day 3 · Mon 9 Nov ·
U3·L13— Leonardo, The Last Supper: find the moment Leonardo chose, and say why that one and not the one before it. - Day 4 · Tue 10 Nov ·
U3·L14— Bruegel and Steen: the disorderly table, taken seriously as a subject rather than comedy. - Day 5 · Wed 11 Nov ·
U3·L15— the Qingming scroll, unrolled, followed by food along its length — 35 of the 45 minutes. - Day 6 · Thu 12 Nov ·
U3·L16— the moral image of work: when did work become worth painting, and for whom. - Day 7 · Fri 13 Nov ·
U3·L17— write the Heda paragraph; swap and cut one adjective from someone else’s. CS4 collected. Direct practice for A3.
Assessment
- LB5 — Tue 2026-11-03, posted from the second Heda session.
- CS4 — Fri 2026-11-13, the Heda paragraph: one paragraph that earns every adjective in it.
These dates may shift when the school publishes its calendar for this period.
