Short Observation Essay Work Day

Today you have time to type up your short essay about The Utility of Close Observation.

Remember, this is about thinking carefully and communicating clearly.

Again, here is the prompt:

"To see what is in front of one's nose needs a constant struggle."   - George Orwell


"All of us are watchers – of television, of time clocks, of traffic on the freeway – but few are observers. Everyone is looking; not many are seeing."   - Peter Leschak

In a short essay of five or so paragraphs, discuss what close observation involves, and explain its usefulness. Be sure to include detailed examples from your own experience, an introduction and conclusion.


For Monday:

1.  Have your short Observation essay hard copy ready at the beginning of class.

2.  Daybooks due at the end of class.

3.  No TWFTD today.
