3. Tammy and Sammy were both students in Mr. Morton's reading class. Mr. Morton wasn't too stric deadlines, and Sammy took antage of that. Sammy did all his nomework in his other classes. But he never
bothered to complete Mr. Morton's reading assignments. He figured that he could complete them later. Tammy, on
the other hand, completed each assignment Mr. Morton had assigned every night. She had to stay up a little later,
but she knew that reading was the most important subject. She knew that if she learned to read well, then she could
teach herself anything. So she always worked hard in her reading class. When the end of the quarter came, Tammy
and Sammy had both planned on going to the Magic Castle amusement park. They were both so excited. But then
Mr. Morton called Sammy's mother to report Sammy's grade. She grounded Sammy and that weekend was horrible
for him. He stayed up until 2:00 AM each night, yet he still couldn't complete all the assignments. Meanwhile,
Tammy had a great time eating pizza at Enchanted Castle. After that she stayed up late and watched movies. She
enjoyed her weekend free of stress and pressure. At the end of the quarter, Sammy was lucky to squeak by with a C
minus. Tammy earned an A. Yet, Sammy still hasn't learned his lesson. He may not complete this activity either
