Question
Which best defines a topic and position in an argumentative essay about a field trip?
My favorite field trip was a visit to the State House followed by a picnic at Pioneer Park. It was a perfect day!
Our sixth-grade field trip to the science center will be an important learning activity. After reading about cells in class, we will learn even more with some hands-on experience.
Some of the teachers do not want to spend a day out of the classroom taking a field trip. Others are worried that the field trip will be too expensive for the students.
Field trips take a lot of planning and organization. It is good to have many parent volunteers to help as chaperones.

In an argumentative essay about a field trip, the best topic and position is expressed in the statement: "Some of the teachers do not want to spend a day out of the classroom taking a field trip. Others are worried that the field trip will be too expensive for the students."
This statement presents a specific topic—teachers' concerns regarding outdoor educational experiences—and takes a position by highlighting the objections to field trips. An argumentative essay would then explore these concerns (time out of the classroom and costs) while presenting counterarguments to advocate for the benefits and necessity of field trips in education.
