Carrie loved her phone and her tablet. She was always looking at one or the other. Her parents would try to talk to her about her life, but she would just ignore them or give them brief answers until they left her alone. When she was at school, she'd sneak peeks at her phone under her desk whenever she could get away with it. When she was at parties, she spent more time interacting with the devices in front of her than with the people around her. Even at concerts and sporting events, Carrie seldom removed her eyes from these tiny screens. One day Carrie was walking home from a friend's house and watching a funny video of people slipping on ice. She began crossing the street just after the light changed. She was so into the video that she did not notice the oncoming traffic. She walked directly into the traffic while laughing at the falling people on her tiny screen and was hit by a bus. Carrie sustained mild injuries, but both of her devices were destroyed. As far as she was concerned, her life was over.

• Carrie loves to use her phone, but she needs to balance that desire with the more practical concerns of safety and wellbeing.

• Carrie is rude to her teachers and parents and gets away with it. That is bad for her eyes.

• To much screen time is bad is for your eyes and hurts your eyes. It is never good for you

• Carrie bad girl.

Tammy and Sammy were both students in Mr. Morton’s reading class. Mr. Morton wasn’t too strict about

deadlines, and Sammy took advantage of that. He did all of his homework in his other classes but never bothered

to complete Mr. Morton’s reading assignments, figuring that he could complete them later. Tammy, on the other

hand, completed each assignment Mr. Morton assigned the night that he assigned it. She had to stay up a little

later, but she didn’t want to get a penalty for turning in her reading work late. Tammy knew reading was a core

subject and that she had to keep “C” average for the entire year or she would have to go to summer school. When

the end of the quarter came, Tammy and Sammy had both planned on going to the Enchanted Castle amusement

park, but Mr. Morton called Sammy’s mother, and she grounded Sammy until he turned in all of his work. That

weekend was horrible for Sammy. He stayed up until 2:00 AM each night and still couldn’t complete all of the

assignments. The whole while, Tammy had a great time eating pizza at Enchanted Castle, watching movies late

at night, and enjoying her weekend free of stress and pressure. At the end of the quarter, Sammy was lucky to

squeak by with a “C” minus in reading while Tammy earned an “A.” Sammy still hasn’t learned his lesson and

probably won’t complete this activity either

• It is better to do things right the first time.

• Tammy and Sammy could be twins

• They are not Twins.

• the main idea is It is better to do things right the first time.

That was the first time that I traveled through time. "Try it!" said the mad scientist. "History needs you," he told me. I went with my gut.
