Maeve Day 24

I also spent all of Friday doing observations. I added another behavior, "F" for pointing (with fingers--P was already taken), because I kept seeing visitors point out specific details to each other while looking at objects. I classified this differently from B, bring to object, because it happened when visitors were already looking at objects together. They would trace the carvings on the ivory, for example, or point to specific objects within the divination kit case. As per usual, most of the visitors came in between 11 AM and 4 PM. I tracked 15 groups of visitors, bringing my total to 34 for the week. I started thinking about possible changes we could make to our interview questions--I wanted to get at how people were reading things together and how they were making use of the interactive elements of the exhibit.
