like? What is the context? What kinds of behavior does the setting promote or prevent?
2. The participants: Describe who is in the scene, how many people, and their roles. What brings these people together? Who is allowed here?

Elements Likely to be Present 3. Activities and interactions: What is going on?
Is there a definable sequence of activities? How do the people interact with the activity and with one another? How are people and activities connected or interrelated?
4. Frequency and duration: When did the situation begin? How long does it last? Is it a recurring type of situation or is it unique? If it recurs, how frequently? How typical of such situations is the one being observed?

Elements Likely to be Present 5. Subtle factors: Less obvious but perhaps as
important to the observation are:• informal and unplanned activities•symbolic and connotative meaning of words•nonverbal communication such as dress and
physical space•unobtrusive measures such as physical clues•what does not happen especially if it ought to
have happened.
