Creative Writing P.6
Prompt: in order to save money your principle is thinking of canceling all field trips for the remainder of the year. Write an essay persuading him or her to allow students to continue attending field trips. Use specific reasons and examples to support your response.
Field trips are necessary for a well rounded education. It isn’t fair for students to suffer because the government has taken money from schools. Field trips allow students a day away from school to learn in a different environment. These trips motivate students and give them the drive to excel in school.
Field trips should be a right not a privilege for students. Student should be able to go to a museum and see a sculpture or painting that they are learning about in school. Educational field trips help make that connection between the material students are learning and real life. Field trips can be expensive but it is worth it in the long run.
School field trips are a perfect supplement to lessons in the classroom. They give students the opportunity to have first-hand experiences and to explore the world. A field trip is especially effective if it supplements lessons already learned in the classroom. Students develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of a subject when a field trip shows them their classroom lessons in action. They will also be more likely to retain the information they learn, and they will have fun while experiencing new things. (http://www.ehow.com/about_5278168_field-trips-learning.html#ixzz156NUmPII).
In all field trips are essential in education for all students. Also, educational field trips create a well rounded education. Education is important for all students no matter the cost.
