Observation, as the CEL describes it, requires writers to “study their subjects and learn something by seeing them in a particular way” (93). Observation essays do more than just report facts: they also “find the hidden meaning, the significant issues, and the important aspects of a particular subject” (93).  

Your purpose in this Observation Essay is to convey the significance of a particular person or place in your community through details that show how the subject “fits” within the community’s priorities and values. Your descriptions and details should make it easy for someone unfamiliar with your community to understand why the person or place you chose is relevant and significant to the community.

*Note: although this essay is intended to be based in recent, firsthand observations, you may write from recent memories instead if you are restricted in travel and mobility during the COVID pandemic. If you are writing from memories, try to recreate scenes and descriptions as though you are seeing them again for the first time. 

In order to achieve this purpose, you need to:

  • Observe and Take field notes. Begin with observing the person or place and writing down notes about what you see, hear, and sense. Plan to observe this person or place 2-3 times. In your notes, record specific actions that you notice, dialogue you overhear, interactions you have with other people, and any important details about the scene that might help you SHOW its significance through vivid detail and narration. 
  • Describe the person or place through actions, details, and dialogue that offer insight into why this person or place has unique significance as an important part of the community.
  • Explain context and background that shows how the person or place matters within the larger community. Context might include history, factual information, anecdotes, geographical information, or other details that help an audience understand the person or place as part of something bigger than themselves/itself.
  • Follow a carefully planned organizational structure that gives priority to specific details, themes, and values. Your final draft should be organized to show the significance of the person or place and should not simply list details in the order you observed them.
  • Offer a strong introduction that hooks readers with vivid details or action and focuses attention on the significance of the subject. Provide a strong conclusion that 

As you look back over your observations and notes, remember that your essay should do more than simply relate details without any larger significance. Your observation of the person or place should also draw out the unique, interesting, and special qualities of the person or place that help audiences understand why they/it has value as part of a larger community.

Caution: Please keep in mind that writing in this class is public, and anything you write about may be shared with other students and instructors. Please only write about details that you are comfortable making public within our classroom community. You should know that your teacher is required by the State of Texas (Links to an external site.) to report any suspected incidents of discrimination, harassment, Title IX sexual harassment, and sexual misconduct to the UNT Title IX coordinators. If you have any questions about anything personal that you might want to disclose, email your teacher first or consult with one of the resources listed on this page: Information on Sexual Violence and Mandatory Reporting.
