This is a RAFT writing assignment.
R stands for role. I am giving you a specific role in this assignment. Instead of writing
from your point-of-view, you will need to write from the point-of-view of your role.
A stands for audience. Instead of writing to your teacher, you will need to direct your
RAFT to the specified audience; in other words, you are writing to or writing for your
audience.
F stands for format. This is NOT an essay. The length of your writing assignment has no
minimum and no maximum; instead, you only need to make sure that the length you
produce matches the format assigned.
T stands for topic. Your raft needs to be about your topic. It is okay to have a sentence or
two that aren’t related directly, but the majority of your RAFT needs to address the
assigned topic.
Each letter in RAFT is worth 10 points. Spelling, grammar, and neatness (combined) are
also worth ten points. In total, this is a 50 point writing assignment.
