(Suggestion to start off the essay)
For the past six weeks, I spent each Friday afternoon in a Year One classroom on placement acting as a teaching assistant. Throughout the placement, I kept a journal of significant incidents I experienced whilst in the school in Trafford. In this essay, I intend to use a critical incident framework to reflect on and interpret the situations I found my self in, enabling me to transcribe the results. These incidents have been described as critical incidents  (Tripp;1993, p.8). Tripp states that critical incidents are produced by the way we look at a situation (Tripp;1993, p.8).
