MS Life Science — the one page for James (12 October 2026, late evening)

Where the build stands (13 October, midday). Your Topic 2 review found two root causes, and both run through all three topics, so all three are being fixed at once. First, the closing line. Every lesson ended "So " where nothing before it made that a deduction. The cause: the script skill's table gave "So, " for a definition lesson, and authors applied it to every close. The close is a recap, so it now opens "So, here's what we've seen:" everywhere, the rule says so, and a sweep fails a bare "So" close. Second, repetition and length. Three rules compounded: "re-establish the scene" was read as re-describing the two-cell drawing in every lesson; the figure policy put a photo and a diagram in one lesson with a narrated switch; and the rule was said three times. The skill now says a shared drawing is introduced once per topic and then pointed at, one representation per lesson with diagrams first, and lessons are capped at 180 spoken words, about 90 seconds. The sweep fails above 180. Your line notes on Topic 2 lessons 1, 2, 6 and 7 are being applied word for word.

Your five taps this morning are applied: the Topic 1 batch goes the moment the render server is back (every MS Chemistry video failed yesterday; a control render decides); two atoms stay on one lesson; the three assumed atoms get recall items before lesson 1; recall items live in the recall bank; the PP100 is a bank of six items per atom drawn from, so Topic 1's bank grows from 31 to 78 and Topics 2 and 3 get theirs. A plain tap now sends itself; only Other and Change this need Send.

On the elephant (lesson 10): "hundreds of thousands" is the accurate figure. A 6,000 kg African elephant against a 20 g house mouse is about 300,000 times heavier, so "millions" would overstate it. Left as written unless you want a different pair.

What to read next: nothing yet. Topic 2 comes back to you once the rework and its cold read land, today.

Decisions

1. Does "vacuole" alone count as the third plant-cell mark?

The course says: The typed item asks for the three parts a plant cell has that an animal cell never has; the accept list requires "large vacuole", so "vacuole" alone is marked wrong.

Why it is a question: - You ruled the mark is ONE LARGE vacuole, because animal cells have small vacuoles too. - A student who types "cell wall, chloroplasts, vacuole" knows the three parts but not the point. - You accepted "membrane" alone and refused "wall" alone on the same page.

Cost of changing it: one accept list.

My recommendation: refuse "vacuole" alone — the word "large" is the whole point of the mark.

A: Refuse "vacuole" alone / B: Accept "vacuole" alone

Applied without asking

Topic 2 lesson 10 keeps "hundreds of thousands" (the arithmetic above).

Summaries parked in Topics 2 and 3 as in Topic 1 (nothing deleted). Topic 2 lesson 8 renamed "Plant cell or animal cell?" because it now tests both ways. Topic 3 lesson 2 keeps six questions (the four on-sight sorts stay in reserve as grade 4's); lesson 3 keeps four, its why carried by the attached question. The willow lesson stays taught, not assumed, as your exact-masses ruling treats it. The strand intro video stays (it teaches nothing and is not a summary). Topic 1 lesson 10's typed order closes a run of which-level questions on purpose: that is its quiz, where you put the which-level skill. Option order is not fixed across a topic; the page shuffles every item.

Your rulings, applied

Topic 1 review (all 12 points), your seven page rulings (arrow "react to make"; "a green plant"; chloroplasts without "only"; three marks with the large vacuole; autotroph and heterotroph atoms; "hotter thing heats" for every band; the inbox), the willow exact with a difference question, reserves left reserved, and the 33 clusters on a simple page (held while Becky reworks the tests).

Still owed, for the record

31 licensed photographs to source, each a placeholder box on the page. The recall items (asked before the video that needs them) have no slot in the topic pages yet. The forward-reference sweep still reads article lines only (quiz and attached-question strings scanned by hand). Ribosomes (TEKS 8.13A) have no atom in the register. PP100 banks for Topics 2 and 3 follow Topic 1's.
