15 min class observation

My observation was on a particular math class. I got into  the class and sat in the last seat to have a better view of everyone walking into class. the professor was behind her desk on her phone texting because it wasn't yet time to start class. She looked like she was into what ever she was doing and didn't want to be disturbed. I was just watching some of the students walk in. The class seemed to be made up of about 25 students. Those who had already arrived seemed like they didn't want to be in class at the time of the day. It was 9.00am and class starts at 9.05am.There were students who walked in ready to go and others just seemed with regrets. Some of the students looked like they had been struck by lightening with their hair all frizzy and all over the place looking pale as diseased. Their outfits also gave the impression they just jumped out of bed and threw on whatever they found laying around the room. Unlike the rugged group there were the ones that looked ready,neat and conscious of what was going on. Finally the class was filled up and teaching begun.This is when the two groups of people really stood out as to their qualities. It turned out that the rugged group were unprepared and not conscious and ready for the class. They didn't contribute to any of the discussion because their minds seemed to be in wonder land. The other group that were ready  contributed to everything going on in the class.

PENSA

My project is going to be on a group formed in the Pentecostal church. The church is located in Boston and has always been there for a long time. This group has been there for a really long time but i don't know exactly when. basically it comprises of both the youth and anyone in college but one has to register to be a part of this group.The least i know about this group is every year they have a convention in another state where all members from that group all over the US come together to teach each other stuff as well as have fun.They have meeting and activities on weekly basis.This group is also bible base meaning they focus more on the bible and its studies.The bible is the foundation of this group as well as their involvement makes the group as strong as it is now.it keeps growing more and more in number as people grow older as well.
Even though i am a part of the church i'm not a part of the group which i always wanted to.There are some questions i would like to answer during this research. First i would like to know when it all began and how long its been like this and how many states its covered as well as the number of countries involved. I have an idea as to the information that some of the members have started groups in individual schools and i would like to know more about that and how i might be able to get  involved with is and also get the group growing. I find it fascinating how they all get along at meetings and they have really interesting seminars and activities they organize and i would like to know how that is going as well. Not only that, i also would like to know how they got this far without breaking apart.
