What goes in each column

A is the antecedent: what happened just before. B is the behavior: what the observer saw or heard. C is the consequence: whatever happened right after, planned or not. Each time the behavior is seen gets a row of its own.

Write the Behavior to watch for line first, so every row on the sheet is about the same thing.
