Timed Writing Task

Write a detailed and persuasive essay in response to the following prompt. Be sure to have a clear thesis and specific examples to help prove your argument. Also, you should have a minimum of 4 paragraphs with an introduction, at least 2 body paragraphs, and a conclusion. You have the entire period to write your essay, so use any extra time to check for grammar errors and sentence fluidity. The essay will be graded using the TOEFL scoring rubric used previously on timed writing.

Prompt:

In order to save money and lower tuition fees, Cheshire Academy has proposed canceling all field trips for the remainder of the year. Do you agree or disagree with this plan? Write an essay that either: 1) persuades the administration to allow students to continue attending field trips or 2) argues for why CA should implement this plan to save money. Use specific reasons and examples to support your response.
