The noise level in the mall ? The percentage of mothers and chi ldren in the supermarket? The behavior of the teenagers in the fast food restaurant? What lime of day did this take place? What was the weather lik e? Did anyone talk to you or ask you what you were doing? How did you feel observing and recording the action?
