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
