Making observations is a rudimentary skill, which students need to master in order to conduct deeper analysis of any piece of work. When you ask students to make observations, they need to simply list facts ("What do you see?") Many times, students like to give more than a factual observation, so teaching them to only list facts when viewing a piece of work is vital. For example, when asking students to make observations of the classroom, the following list is a prime example of making observations.
