ABSTRACT
Ms. Corvo stands at the front of her crowded classroom, ready to begin. “Give me your attention,” she says. “That’s right, your undivided
attention-only on me, the Golden Girl.” Aside to Ms. Bridgestone, a student teacher, she adds, “I love that
show!” “I need your attention and I’m not waiting much longer,” she tells the
class. This is the beginning of a language arts period in Ms. Corvo’s fifthgrade classroom.
