Part One:
Student #1 - Name: Navkiran Sandhu (Group #15)
Karen is sitting along with five kids on chairs around a round table and is serving them
snacks. While she is telling them, “The last one for everyone……and there will be
another cookie for you”, she hears the voice of Charlie who is calling her by her name
“Karen” from the adjoining room. She replies back to him promptly “I am coming,
Charlie” and quickly moves across the door towards the room where Charlie is lying on
a low baby cot. Some pillows and other paraphernalia are scattered here and there in the
room. Kneeling down on her knees near his cot and picking two children books lying
there, she asks him, “Yeah, I heard you are calling me again. What can I do for you?”
Charles reclining on his bed replies “Read a book for me”. She also reclines on the floor
alongside his right while handing over the books to him. Looking at the cover page of
the book, she reads out the title of one book, “I know a rhino” and “…..or what other
one?” as she tries to read the title of another book while peeping towards the cover page
of the second book held in the left hand of Charlie. Charlie replies while reading the title
of the book, “Those are sheep”. Then Karen asks, “Those are sheep, so which one would
you like to read? Charlie speaks his choice by pointing one book towards her while
saying, “This one” and puts another book towards his left side. Karen repeats the title of
the book, “I know a rhino” and then says, “Hey, it’s written by a boy who has same name
as you, Charles”. Charlie keeps on looking at the cover page of the book and then asks,
“What is that?” while pointing towards something on the page. She explains, “Looks like
a little… pot of sugar and the rhino is serving, could be tea or could be coffee into the
coffee cup or the tea cup”. Then, she opens the book while Charlie keeps on looking at
the book.

RUNNING RECORDS 1
Karen is telling students sitting around a round table that this is their tea and last cookie.
Charlie called for Karen and she went to him saying, “I heard you calling me, Charlie, I
am coming”. Charlie is lying on his bed as he is feeling emotionally lazy and do not want
to go out for snacks with other students. Karen lies down on floor next to Charlie and
asks him what he wants to do? Charlie has two story books in his hand and Karen asked
him “which book do you want to read? And calls the name of the book, “I know a Rhino”.
Charlie looks at the other book which is still in his hands and says “It has a sheep”. Then
Karen says yes. Karen said that the book was written by a boy with the same name of
Charlie. Karen then explains the picture on the cover to Charlie as “the Rhino has a sugar
dish in his hand it seems like he is pouring tea or coffee into the cups”.

Part 2:
How will you apply some of these strategies when conducting Running Records in
class, as an EA?
While working as an EA, we will utilize our knowledge learned through this module
while making Running records and will apply these strategies to write the report
accurately without any biasness.
1. We learned from here that in future also while writing report we will give
respect to student’s identity and will maintain their dignity.
2. Record it at the same time as we will observe it.
3. We will avoid the effect of observer on student’s behaviour by maintaining the
naturalistic setting while observing and will observe by being non-participant
observer.
4. Will write the report clear by using proper language and will include detailed
description of all the behaviour without emphasising on specific behaviour and
adding any perceptions.
5. We will add all the details of the event so that it can be used for variety of
purpose by the professionals.
6. We will write it professionally, considering our roles and responsibilities by
understanding the purpose or intention to writing the report.
7. We will make it confined by mentioning the name of only one student.
8. Avoiding all kind of biasness while report writing.
9. Writing it without losing sight of standards, emotional response, without
effect of observer, without vested interest, our assumption, judgement.
10. We will not use prior knowledge for judgements, own belief and attitude,
observer’s tendencies and editorial power and will write the report in accurate
manner describing the events in chronological sequence and in exact manner
as they occurred.
