Are your familiar with RAFT?

On October 27th, the Science community held a live event entitled Writing Strategies in the Science Classroom. We shared several useful strategies that strengthen writing skills in the content areas. 

The RAFT writing strategy helps students understand their role, the audience they will address, the different  formats for writing, and the topic they will write about.

RAFT stands for: 

  • R - role 
  • A - audience
  • F - format
  • T - topic
