Could you imagine if someone said to you,I think we should have Starbucks everyday! That’s a terrible idea!! That’s how we debated at the board of legislature field trip! (we didn’t exactly debate about starbucks but that’s ok!)I’m gonna tell you all about my ideas, debates and what I learned about. And I really hope you like my opinions cause they were sure good! I had lots of fun and I learned so much! 

I had so much fun on the field trip. My favorite parts were speaking into the microphone because it made me feel very professional because we all took turns saying our opinions which mine was VERY important.  Another thing that I liked was hitting the gavel. It was very cool and it made me feel important and that I had a lot of power! The last thing that I really enjoyed is that I got to shake the legislature’s hand which was very pleasing and exciting. It was very nice because when he shook my hand and he said “ you look like a nice smart little girl.” I was super cheerful!!! There were so many great parts and so many learning experiences!!

I learned lots and lots of fun things but my favorite one was learning how all the stuff there in the building worked and how for example when we were in the meeting room and we had to take turns talking discussing our opinions there was even a head of the table which made it even more realistic and much cooler! We also learned how to bang the gavel and what to say if you were on the top chair in the chamber of the legislature’s board room. The last thing that we learned that they do is the names to call people like the chair the clerk and you can also call each other legislature and then their name! I was even like woah this is so cool I feel soooo professional!

I had lots of fun and I learned so much! Do you know your legislature? Have you ever been to your board of legislature building? Well if you haven’t then you should definitely go because it’s worth it! You will learn so much and most importantly you will have lots of fun!
