ABSTRACT

Wen Shu runs up to her teacher, Mr. Puentes, to show him the kocapeli figure that her mother bought her on a recent business trip. Mr. Puentes interrupts Wen Shu’s story about the doll and tells her to get back to her seat because the class needs to study for the state examinations that come at the end of the month. Dejected and somewhat embarrassed, Wen shu returns to her seat but is not very interested in completing the practice multiple choice test Mr. Puentes wants her to take.
