focusing on other things such as a woman reading a
book, another student sleeps and the other using a
computer. Then a student is late, but the teacher does
not act that he prefers to continue teaching.

When suddenly the teacher begins talking about the

grades, the students begin to ask about the
assessments and grades for the semester so it is clear
that they are attentive to this.

The teacher continues giving history classes, and the

students become disinterested again, doing their things
again, when the girl of the book answers a question
given by the teacher but asks that her answer is
correct.

The video ends when one of the students is attentive

and tries to participate.
