RAFT

The RAFT strategy may be defined as "writing from a viewpoint other than that of the student, to an audience other than the teacher, in a form other than a standard theme or written answers to questions."

• Role of the writer: Who are you?
• Audience for the writer: To whom are you writing?
• Format of the writing: What form will your writing assume?
• Topic to be addressed in the writing: What are you writing about?

In the Classroom:

• Can be used in any subject area
• Learn to write from a different perspective
