Reading Journal #3

This Read assignment provided considerable help to me when I was writing my observation paper. I referenced this section several times before, during and after my paper. This section gives you a step-by-step definition of how to write an observational paper. Once again it helps those who are struggling better understand by giving picture references along with easy to read information.

On top of that it gives significant amounts of detail reguarding taking observational notes. Key points were: Build a strong sense of place, Provide vivid and well chosen details, cread an overall impression, build trust with your audience by being precise and objective and provide visuals if needed. All of those I tried my best to encompass in my paper. Obviously providing a visual aid was tough, so instead I tried to paint a picture with my words.

Overall, this was probably the most help I have obtained for a reading so far. I am glad that I read it before observing and that I referenced it during as well as after.
