1) Mr. Joe assigned students to groups for a new class project and used a random drawing method to determine groups. 2) Lucas was placed in a group with Marco, Sam, and Ben, who he assumed were intelligent and hardworking. 3) During the group's first meeting, Lucas did not contribute while the others made progress, which made him upset that his work was not recognized. 4) Determined to prove himself, Lucas studied hard on his own and observed Ben's work ethic and intelligence in order to contribute more to the group project.
