What is RAFT?
It is the acronym for Role, Audience, Format, and Topic. In a RAFT activity,
students take on a particular role; develop a product for a specified audience in a
particular format and on a topic that gets right at the heart of what matters most in a
particular segment of study.
Roles can be assigned by teachers or students can make their own choice.
RAFT assignments are typically short and can be completed during the class, so
that sharing and debriefing could be provided to enhance the expected learning
outcomes i.e. KUD.

RAFT
背景資料：
本港每天需要處置的工商業及住宅廢物，數以千公噸計。目前，在新界西、新界
東南、新界東北共有 3 個策略性堆填區，作為用作處置廢物的主要地點。堆填區
利用先進的堆填技術，不但能應付社會對環保愈來愈高的要求，還為本港提供所
需的廢物處置地方。隨著廢物量持續增長，堆填區正迅速飽和，滿溢情況比預期
來得更早。假如廢物量繼續以現時速度上升，現有的堆填區將於 2010 年代中至
後期逐一飽和。政府必須另覓新的堆填區或擴充現有堆填區的面積，否則未來數
年，每日數以萬公噸計的廢物便再沒有處置的地點。然而，公眾普遍抗拒廢物處
理設施，不管當局建議在那一區建造這些設施，社區都會有反對聲音，政府已經
開始就各種方案諮詢公眾。
