To create an effective announcement, Sofia should emphasize the importance of community support and how the bake sale directly benefits their school, such as funding for a specific project or event. She could mention that donating baked goods and helping at the bake sale can earn students community service hours, making it appealing for those looking to enhance their resumes or college applications. However, Sofia should exclude any negative comments about the sports event, as this could alienate students who are excited about it. Instead, she could highlight how participating in the bake sale will ensure that everyone can enjoy both the bake sale and the sports event without choosing one over the other.
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.
