To create an effective announcement, Sofia should emphasize how participating in the bake sale not only supports the school but also provides an opportunity for students to earn community service hours or contribute to a class competition. Including a statement about the positive impact of the funds raised can motivate students to get involved, as it shows their efforts will benefit their school. She should exclude any mention of the competing sports event, as it may distract or discourage students from participating in the bake sale. Instead, focusing on the fun and excitement of the bake sale can help draw interest and foster a sense of community.
Use the scenario to answer the question.
Sofia is writing a piece of media to read during the morning announcements at her school. She wants to convince her classmates to donate baked goods for the school’s annual bake sale, and to help run the bake sale. There is a popular sports event taking place at the same time as the bake sale that students are likely to want to attend.
In 3–5 sentences, explain how Sofia can create the most effective announcement in favor of working the bake sale. Include at least one piece of information Sofia should convey and why she should include it. Also include at least one piece of information Sofia should exclude from her announcement and explain why she should exclude it.
