At my placement the teacher was observing a child, she was writing a written commentary, the child had problems holding a pencil in the correct way. While I was observing the teacher I realized she would write everything that he would do for example, the child picked up the pencil, which fingers he put the pencil in between, how much pressure he used while holding the pencil, which hand he rights with, how fast he rights in a specific amount of time etc. the observer should right as much as they can , the observer should right clearly and use good vocabulary, according to Tassoni, P (2007)
