This past week, students have been completing a RAFT project. RAFT encourages students to assume a ROLE, consider their AUDIENCE, while examining a TOPIC from their chosen perspective, and demonstrating their knowledge in a particular FORMAT. Some drafted an email to a congressperson to voice their concerns about pollution in their community. Others acted as biologists who set out to convince a school board to create policies regarding conservation with some type of visual. And many students enjoyed teaching the meaning of pollution, conservation, and recycling to young children using a puppet show.
