5. Awkward Class Interaction...

When we walked around in class to start our field notes, it was noticeable that everyone felt awkward that they had to start talking to people they normally do not interact with during class, so it was really easy to feel the tension in the room.  As we started to walk around, I personally started off talking to people I knew but didn't really speak to, but as I was examining everyone in the room it was noticeable that everyone felt uncomfortable talking to people they didn't know because they were forced to do so, but if we weren't forced to we probably would of been fine interacting with the people we don't usually interact with.

But besides seeing that nobody wanted to move around at first, what was seen was that people found it difficult to start the conversation right off the bat with people they didn't know, and also the body language was awkward, a lot of people had their arms close to their bodies. I noticed there was eye contact being made but many only kept their eye contact very focused with people they knew better then others they didn't. 

When we were unsure what else to speak about the room became awkwardly quiet when you finish the conversation, and then soon everyone started migrating back to where they sat or to the people they were comfortable speaking to.  While I made mental notes of what I saw between everyone, there were a lot of phones being used to take down information about what was going on. In the end when we were discussing our experience it was brought forward that the teacher played a role in dynamics with the class and was helping everyone to converse with the ones we had not converse with.
