Observation #2

At school on the SUU campus this week, I observed students in a classroom.  It was kind of easy to see who was in what group of friends in the class.  Those who knew each other tended to sit in close proximity, face each other, have open posture, and have their feet pointed towards the group.  They smiled at one another and even used touch that displayed their friendship.


 The people who weren't in that group leaned back in their chairs or even turned their backs to the other people in the room while they had their own conversations.  Some of them that didn't speak folded their arms and slouched in their chairs and appeared to give off the closed posture.  Their expressionless faces made me think that they either didn't want to be there or didn't care to talk to anyone in the classroom.  Many of them were hunched over their phones and didn't bother to look at anyone unless the teacher was lecturing.
