Sam's Lingo Lessons
Storyline: For each situation - unruly students in class, grumpy diner customer in a hurry, and watching an old-fashioned melodrama on TV - you are given what the teacher, Grumpy Gus, or Heroine Nell would say (in conventional language). This is followed by what Sam would say (in 1950s teen slang). Below this, readers are asked to fill-in "What Would You Say?"
