From the publisher

Are field trips a great way to interest students in a topic? Or are they an expensive - and sometimes kind of boring - waste of time? Everyone has an opinion. Read both sides, make up your own mind, and learn to write about an opinion of your own. How will you answer the question: field trips, yes or no? Featuring engaging reading activities and relatable content, the simple-to-follow book, Field Trips, Yes or No?, allows young learners to construct their own persuasive statements. The Seeing Both Sides series encourages young learners to research and support their own conclusions on a variety of long-debated topics. Readers will explore the pros and cons of each specific topic and gain a better understanding of differing opinions and why it is important to look at all the facts before making a decision. Each 24-page book features a teaching focus, before- and after-reading activities, writing tips, a glossary, and more, to effectively engage young learners and prompt them to explain their understanding.
