In the scenarios you just completed it often helps to organize your observations into a table. 

Review the example scenario about Ralph in the table provided. It is an example of organizing the observations into a Who? What? and Why? table.

Who? What? Why?
The Person/People: Feels: Because:
Ralph (high school person) uncomfortable, sore/stiff muscles has to sit in uncomfortable chairs, sits for a long time during the school day
