Field Trips

Persuasive Writing Prompt #1 : Canceling All Field Trips

High school year is the biggest step being taken from a student that is graduating from junior high. If you were to cancel the field trips for the remainder of the year do you know how disappointed many students will be? Or think about all the rebellious things that would be conducted by the student body. You telling me that I won’t be able to go on any more field trips because of the financial aspect would be a joke. I mean there are many ways to fundraise and get donations from many different companies. If the financial aspect is the only reason why we are not allowed to go on any field trips then I say that the school needs to start a fundraising committee.
Parents would become involved if we sent home a letter asking for donations of water, candy , chips , juice , etc so that we can open a student store and start selling these items to have some money that we can use for different activities. Not only can we do things inside of school but also outside. Yard sales, Car Washes and Bake Sales can be done on a Saturday or Sunday chosen by the student body and we can all participate and persuade people to help out our school.
Some field trips should not be mandatory and you should let the student body decide. If there is a trip that is going to Six Flags then of course the people that want to go will need to come out of pocket to pay not only for their ticket but for the bus as well , maybe 10 – 15 dollars extra. Also when planning a field trip let the student and parents know in advance so they are aware of when the money is due so that more students can attend and the bus will be taken care of.
Now, you with fundraising and donations coming from different resources around d us, I believe that we will be able to do more things then you expected. When we speak up for what we want we will always get more dreams and goals accomplished. Sticking together is really what it is all about. Once we plan, organize and create we will be more than surprised of what our outcome will be. All it takes is determination and motivation to get us closer to our dreams and we will all get through this together.
