Description: Who or what is being observed? What
is the location? Time of day? Weather? Are others present? Details about the
person, gender, dress, age, are they able to move around? Are they with someone
else? If you are observing an animal, add detail about the animal – what kind,
appearance of being well taken care of, friendliness, etc. The key here is
detail, detail, detail!
