Government – Youth in Government City Hall Trip Essay

Create a new entry on your blog with this same title and answer the following in paragraph format, recounting your trip to City Hall Tuesday.  You will turn in the link to your entry on google classroom.  If you did not go, you need to talk with someone that did and explain their account of what happened.  Please be sure to indicate that you were not actually there in person.  Give your thoughts on their account of the experience.

  1. Explain the purpose/goal of the trip.  This is your introduction.  (example; Tuesday, the Sophomore and Junior class took a field trip to Fairview Park’s City Hall.  This was part of the Youth in Government program here at FHS to increase our political socialization by interacting with members of our local government including the Mayor and several other officials).
  2. What did you see/experience?  (explain in general, what happened on your trip).
  3. Who specifically did you meet with on this trip?  What did they talk about?
  4. What about this trip stood out to you?  What left a lasting impression?  What were the highlights of the trip?  (something/someone you saw, something that was said, etc?)
  5. What was the overall experience like for you?  Did you enjoy it?  Did you get something out of it?  Was there anything you wish you would have gotten to see or do, that you were unable to?  This is your closing.
