My eighth-grader just showed me his homework. His
assignment is to write a paper describing what he did over Spring
break. Here is what he wrote:
Day 1 – Baseball. TV. Spoke with people. More
TV.
Day 2 – Baseball. Textd friends. Textd Sam.
Dinner.
Day 3 – Baeball. Did stuff.
Day 4 – Baseball. More stuff. Also did
PLSTN.
Day 5 – Ball and Watched TV
Day 6 – Baseball, rd book a little
Day 7 – Dd more of stuff I did on Day 4. Oh, and baseball
too.
He thinks his teacher will be very impressed. I'm not
so sure.
See where I'm going with this? Time entries should
include narratives that convey to the client the value that
you are contributing each day. Descriptions should
explain the services provided, how the assignment relates to the
engagement, and why the time of a professional at your level was
needed.
