mapping assignment

For my field research assignment I went to the intermediate school in Reading. I sat across the street at the park right in the middle of the round about, so I could observe the facility as a whole. I went around the time that the school lets out their students. The buildings that I could see from where I was sitting were the tall buildings in downtown Reading, to the left of me. There was also a small cottage looking building to the right of me that could be where things are kept to maintain the park. To the back of me there was a building that was similar to the structure of the white house. When it came to roads, as previously said before I was sitting in the middle of the round about. There was a big circular road that I could see directly in front of me, there were two exits to leave. One going down and the other going up towards Reading high. If I turned to my left there was another exit to the round about that lead to the lower part of the park where the playground, tennis, and basketball courts were at. The condition of the road varied depending on where you were looking. There was also a concrete path for people to walk on or where people ran like I saw some people do. At the time that I went there, there were too many people to count since it was a let out, there were hundreds of students.. I came to this conclusion because they were wearing uniforms and there were many parents picking up their kids and a lot of regular pedestrians with either their younger kids or just taking a walk in the park. There were also a decent amount of cop cars, I counted a total of four troopers. During my time there I witnessed a lot of people just having genuine and normal conversations. They were walking home from school or where ever they were headed but then I saw a couple of altercations, only two of those became more then pushing and actually lead to a fist fight but they were quickly broken up. There was also a police statue to the corner of my left eye with three flag poles, the two outer poles had one flag each half way down the pole and the one in the middle had two flags. They were also half way down the pole. Those were the observations I captured from the half hour and forty five  minutes that I was there.
