People-watching – Reflective task.

Observation Task:

Choose a location such as a café, the Corniche or a mall. Be alone or with a friend.

Sit and look around, and reflect on the scene.

·        Who do you see?

·        What do you know about the people, what can you guess?

·        What are they doing? Why are they there?

·        How are they interacting with their group or others outside their group?

·        How are the people behaving? Are all single men/families/couples behaving in the same way? If not, why and how not? Is the difference culture-based?

·        Record your observations in notes on your phone/IPad or voice recording.

·        Take photos or a video of the scene (but be aware of sensitivities).

				What’s the cultural mix? What percentages? What group of people makes the majority/minority at your location? What percentage are Emiratis? ·         Sketch percentages in the pie chart
