Task 2

My group chose to visit the following places:
- Grocery store
- Local Coney Island
- Local café
We chose to visit a grocery store in the area to see where our students most likely shop for groceries. We chose the local Coney Island because it is most likely locally owned and hopefully involved in the community. The café we chose because we know that it is owned by some parents of children that attend our school and it is very close.
I expect to see middle class parents and older people. We will be going around 9am-12pm and I expect school age children to be in school and parents to be out doing their grocery shopping. I expect older people to be at the Coney Island. I feel like most local places have their usual customers that will probably be in for breakfast. Most of the students in my class judging by their clothes and appearance appear to be middle class and I would expect to see their parents in the places we are visiting. I expect to see good looking made from scratch food at the café and Coney Island.
An outsider may think the social classes may be different from the appearance of some of the places than I might. I know that the café looks kind of run down from the outside, but I expect it to be decent inside. I could be wrong and an outsider might expect worse.
At all of the places we are visiting there will likely be many things with prices listed. The menus at the café and Coney Island should have prices listed. The grocery store will have probably have large signs to show sales. At the café and Coney Island the employees will be verbally taking orders from the customers. Cost of items and complete bills for meals and groceries will be displayed differently from the grocery store to the others.
There could be many things used in the classroom dealing with proper language to use at various places and what to look for when reading signs. There are many different ways to say amounts of money and ways to write it.
