Some people argue that field trips are a waste of time, money and other valuable resources.  They argue that anything we need to ‘see’ can be viewed online or in video.

In a well-organized and uniform argumentative essay, explain your position on field trips in regard to the trip to the Detroit Institute of Arts.  Your audience is the district administration, including the superintendent, and the school board.

Take 40 minutes to finish this & hand in at the end of the hour.
