1. I could picture myself using the "RAFT" strategy.
2. I really enjoyed the idea of this! I think students would love this and it would add an extra spin on things. It will help them get their creative juices going and they will feel extra smart, funny, and special. An example of using RAFT would be:
If you're teaching a lesson on plants, the students could write a letter using RAFT:
ROLE: Soil
AUDIENCE: Plants
FORMAT: Romantic letter
TOPIC: I need you so I don't erode.
This helps them be creative and have fun while learning and writing down facts and what they've learned so far about soil needing plants.
You could do this with ANY subject! It's fun!
What a delightful idea for a RAFT! I hope you really will try it out, and let me know how it goes! 4 points
