I wonder if we can characterize weak measurability of a function taking values in a Banach space using sequence of step functions (functions that have finite range) just like how we define strong measurability?
More specifically, a function $f:\Omega\mapsto X$ defined on a measure space $(\Omega,\Sigma,\mu)$ and taking values in a Banach space $X$ is strongly measurable if there exists a sequence of step functions $\{ \phi_n \}$ such that $\phi_n\rightarrow f$ in norm a.e.. Could we analogously say that $f$ is weakly measurable iff there exists a sequence of step functions $\{ \phi_n \}$ such that $\phi_n\rightarrow f$ weakly a.e.? One direction is obviously true, but I can't figure out the other direction.
For reference, here is the definition of weak measurability: A function $f:\Omega\mapsto X$ is weakly measurable if $\langle f(\omega), x \rangle$ is measurable for each $x\in X'$, the norm dual of $X$.
