In your daybook, write down a quick outline of today's essay.  List your thesis with the points under it.  Find in your stuff the gray paper about introductions, but remember, write you introduction last!

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