The Iceskating Trip
What, in
your opinion, should have been the school's approach to the iceskating trip to
Trump's Wollman Rink? Which of these options do you most support and
WHY?
Length: At least
two pages, typed if possible.
You must
include:
--at least three well-explained reasons why you
believe that the option you chose is the best one, and
--at least one reason why each of the other
options are not as good
-- AT LEAST two pieces of evidence from an
outside source that helped inform your opinion. They can be from opinion
articles or news articles. Try to determine whether your evidence is fact or
opinion, and indicate this in your writing. Put the name of the article’s
author and the page number in parentheses after the quote. If you can’t find
the source’s author, put its title in parentheses. If there is no page number,
then just write the author’s name or the title.
Example: Mr. Trump’s wife said, “Donald is a good
looking man” (Trump 20).
(If you are not sure what you think we should have
done, write about which options you are debating between, and the pros and cons
of each one.)
--The whole school should have gone to the rink as
in the past
--The trip should have been postponed and we should
have gone to a different rink in the first week of January
--The whole school should have gone to the rink and
students who chose to could have expressed their views in some way (what would
have been the best way to make their opinions known?)
--Students who didn't want to go could have stayed
home, and the rest of the school could have gone to Wollman Rink
--Students who didn't want to go could have come to
school (what should they have done while at school?), and the rest of the
students could have gone to Wollman Rink
--Students who didn't want to go could have done
some other fun bonding activity, and the rest of the school could have gone to
Wollman Rink
--Some other option you think of
In your explanation of your opinion, I would like you to include Explain
how these facts/opinions influenced your decision.
