Hi Eli: What a field trip does is allow the student to see the real world workforce in action. Often it is accompanied by an experienced tour guide or speaker. If you can make arrangements and give the speaker cues about subjects or topics you want the students to hear about, all the better. My field trips begin at the school, then students carpool. Alternatively, if the destination is far away, I write out all the details about where, when, who, and things about grading and my expectations for the outcome of the trip. Students like field trips.
