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 eamed an "A." Sammy still hasn't learned his lesson and probably won't complete
this activity either.
