Steve walked into his classroom, looking forward to the new project that his teacher, Mrs. Johnson, had announced. The project was about creating a model of a historical building, and Steve was excited to get started. Mrs. Johnson explained that they would be working in groups of two, and Steve was paired with a shy boy who he didn't know well. 'Hi, I'm Steve,' he said, trying to break the ice. The shy boy smiled nervously and replied, 'I'm Alex.' Steve and Alex sat down at their table, looking at each other uncertainly. Mrs. Johnson handed out the project guidelines and told them to get started. Steve and Alex looked at the guidelines, trying to decide where to begin.
