Hello,
Are specimen descriptions the same as jottings? Or what is the difference between them?
Confused..

Yes- is that strange? I searched this site and nothing came up about specimen descriptions, did I miss something?

Here this may help:

A specimen record is similar to a running record but focuses on one area of development. For example if you were observing language development – you would record a bit of the context, but the focus would be on the conversation. When writing a specimen record you need to identify which area of development you are focussing on e.g. Specimen record – language development.
