Observation Between Bobby And Elliott

Mrs. Wendy put to chairs in the middle of the class and had two students conduct a conversation. Everybody else in the class had to write what they saw, heard, and observed. The only thing was, we had to keep our pencil or pens moving until she told then to stop talking. Oh my God, I thought my hand was going to fall off. It was a lot of writing. It was like they didn’t know what to talk about. They had plenty of moments when they would get very quiet almost like they were thinking of something to say. When I was observing the conversation it was like I could hear everything that was going on. Mrs. Wendy was on the computer typing, and other students were making noises like: tapping their pens, moving their feet, and interrupting the conversation. I could tell a lot about how the conversation was going by their body language. One would be slouching down and the other sitting straight up. Then when the conversation got slow they would start to shake their leg. Almost as if they were nervous about the fact that people were watching them and paying close attention to their conversation. It was like they were limited on what they could talk about. Then when Mrs. Wendy was changing the topics of the conversations, their body language changed and the conversation got a little bit more interesting then it was. When they would get a good conversation going on the topic, she would change it. I thought that was kind of funny, but couldn’t really enjoy it because of all the writing and my hand was hurting.
