How to write an observation paper?

This is one of my first observation papers that I’ve had to write. I’m an elementary education major and taking a Child Development class. We have to observe different age groups and then write an observation paper on the experience.

Anyway, I was wondering the format to writing one. Is it best to keep it third person or could you use I to describe what you’ve observed? I know past English classes have frowned upon using first person unless it was a personal narrative but I wasn’t sure about this kind of paper.

Thanks

I am also an education major, taking my first class which requires an observation. I would say that first person is acceptable for this type of paper. My professor has us write ours in narrative format, so that we’re telling a story about what we witnessed in the classroom from a first-person point of view.

The first section of the book consists of four chapters on how to support younger writers. In the second section, the authors explore how a variety of issues influence narrative and poetry writing. The third section looks at nonfiction and ways to do this kind of writing effectively. The final section considers how to prepare writing to be read by an audience. By considering all the different types of writing as well as why we write, the importance of writing, the process of writing, and variety of diverse issues, Writing in the Elementary Classroom is by far the most comprehensive book on writing instruction available today.This book is available in North America, Australia and New Zealand.
