hufolk1-10, Exercise 3: Old practice or later revival? Model answer (a Burns supper): Record: Burns suppers are documented from soon after the poet's death in the late eighteenth century (check the first one). Break: the custom has been carried on fairly continuously, with a formal order that became fixed over time, so it is partly practice and partly codified. Maker or leader: the host and the speakers are amateurs and sometimes professionals; it is a social custom, not a stage show. Claim: it is usually described honestly as a tradition of about two centuries, not ancient. Conclusion: a long-running practice, partly codified, which is both old and shaped by later conventions. Other answers are fine if the four steps are applied.
