To prepare the blank copy of the observation form from Figure 5 on pages 6-7 of your child development textbook:
1. If using a computer:
- Open a word processing software like Microsoft Word or Google Docs.
- Create a new document.
- Format the document to match the layout of the observation form from Figure 5.
- Leave blank spaces for the information you will fill in later during the observation.
2. If using a typewriter:
- Make sure you have a typewriter and a blank sheet of paper.
- Position the paper correctly in the typewriter.
- Start typing, following the layout and format of the observation form.
Note: If you don't have access to a computer or a typewriter, you can also handwrite the observation form on a blank sheet of paper or use a printable form template online.
Now, make two additional copies of the blank observation form you just prepared:
1. If using a computer:
- Right-click on the document and select "Copy" to create a duplicate.
- Paste the duplicate onto a new document or make two copies of the same document.
2. If using a typewriter:
- Place the second blank sheet of paper in the typewriter.
- Retype or copy the content of the first observation form onto the second sheet.
- Repeat the process with a third blank sheet to create the third copy.
