In a classroom, there are six students working on a group project about animals. Each student researches a different animal: a lion, a dolphin, a kangaroo, an elephant, a penguin, and a snake. They each write their findings on separate pieces of paper and put them in a folder. Later, the teacher shuffles the papers and redistributes them randomly among the students. What animal information will each student expect to receive, and how will they react when they get a different animal's information? Provide a brief response.
Each student will expect to receive the animal information that they themselves researched, because that is the work they did, and it would be natural for them to expect to see their own findings when opening the folder. 

When the students receive a paper detailing an animal they did not research, their reactions will vary based on their expectations and adaptability. Some might feel surprised because they were expecting to see their own research, not someone else's work. They might also feel momentarily confused, as the information in front of them will not align with what they have been working on. However, after realizing the papers have been shuffled, most students are likely to understand the situation and adjust their expectations. The mix-up could also spark curiosity among the students about their classmates' findings on different animals, turning the experience into an impromptu learning opportunity about other animals. If the assignment was to discuss or present the findings, they might need to quickly adapt and familiarize themselves with the new information in front of them.
