Potential Ideas for the Inquiry Contract

For my topic, I'd like to something small and practical. It's easier to write in-depth and convincingly if what you're writing about isn't huge and confusing and has hundreds of sides and angles and facts about it. This contract sounds hard enough without trying to complicate with writing about the war in Iraq, or something like that. Then I wouldn't have to worry so much about research- I could focus more on writing good papers. However, I'm not particularly passionate about anything. Anything that would be easy to write about, that is.

So, first: a possibility is to argue for more field trips in high school. Perhaps every fourth block or something, each class could go on a trip. Educational or community service or for just having fun. Or maybe once a semester, each people could sign up for a field trip somewhere. Or an overnight trip, or something. I haven't really developed anything more coherent than that.

Second: build/renovate the area outside the main building and between the two buildings, so that that is a covered walkway between them (so in the rain/hail/snow we don't have to be precipitated upon), there are more picnic tables outside for the growing school population and make some sort of tent/pavilion outside to cover said tables.

Third: build a swimming pool. While I would absolutely love to have a swimming pool here, I know they cost millions and so arguing for one is probably not going to work.

What do you all think?
