W01 ยท Observation-writing exercise
First draft
The seed grew.
Revised draft
On day 4, the stem was 6 cm tall.
Point to the added time and measurement. This single sentence does not establish growth rate, a grade or writing mastery.
The student's explanation and question
I added the day and a measurement so the reader knows when the observation happened and what I measured.
Question: How can I describe what changed between two observations?
No earlier measurement supplied. Keep the comparison question open.
Next practice to discuss
In my next observation entry, record the day and measurement together.
Support question: Can we review whether my wording identifies what I measured?
Actual support person, agreement and review date: not supplied. No completed practice represented.
