What are people thinking during the last period before lunch? I set out to answer this question with the help of my peers. I wanted to know what specifically students were thinking about when they know that in 90 minutes the class is going to be released for lunch.
The reason I did this is because I wanted to know if students were like me and also not paying attention when they know they are going on a break soon. I also am interested in what my friends think and what they focus on.
I interviewed a lot of people but the information mostly was the same. I started my interviews with Brenner, he thinks about what food he is going to eat during lunch. I asked him if he preferred school lunches or going into town for food? He said that he preferred town food but school lunch helps save money and that’s always nice. On a similar note I also interviewed Oscar, he said that he paid attention to what food specifically he was going to get. My next interview was a bit different, Rye said that she often thought about a nice cold drink during class. Whether it be water or a matte she’s ready to get something in 90 minutes. My last interview was Zelda, her answer was different then everyone else’s. She said she counts down the clock and watches the time until she knows when the period is over and we get released.
My question in the end was answered. Most people think like me and are thinking about the meals we could have and how nice it is to be out of class soon. I gathered some quotes that i asked my interview to describe the questions, Oscar said, “I love my food” Rye said,
“I like cold drinks because they refresh me and gets me ready for the next class”
And Brenner said, “It’s very distracting because I’m starving”.
