Class Assignment 1: Observing the Familiar (Tool)

Aims and Accomplishments
The intended learning outcomes of this assignment is to help students to have ability of observing the item and situations clearly, and write a descriptive about it. For this assignment, we have to pick one tool in our house and observe it using our five senses (listen, sight, touch, smell, taste), then write an essay about it. I had chosen a plastic mug as my tool, because sharp and dangerous tools such as knife are not allowed to be observed.

Example of plastic mug


When I started my observations, I stared at the plastic mug, looking at it in different angles, smelling at it, listening to it, and touch it with my hands. After many hours of the observations, I observed many things that I usually do not notice at, and I quickly jotted the observations down in a piece of paper.

Reflections

In my real life, I did not notice different things that I used, or things that I saw in my surroundings. However, I can observe everything carefully using my free time. Nowadays, I will observe the mini cacti I bought when I feel bored. Due to this assignment, my observation skills have been improved.
