Tuesday- Tonight you will be writing an acceptance speech for the Democratic nomination as you were addressing an audience at the Democratic National Convention. Remember the following points from today's lesson.
R—Role of the writer (Who or what are you?)
A—Audience for the writer (To whom or what are you writing?)
F—Format of the writing (What form will your writing assume?)
T—Topic + a strong verb (What are you writing about?)
Putting a RAFT together—1. Establish your topic by considering what important ideas or information you want students to show that they can process through their writing.
2. Determine the role of the writer and the audience for whom the writing is intended.
3. Determine the format that will best allow the writer to communicate the information (letter, speech, advice column, diary, script, news article, speech, travel brochure, thank you note, editorial, instructions, book review, obituary etc.).
4. Determine the structure/form of the writing by adding a strong verb to the topic (persuade, explain, sequence, compare and contrast, describe, etc.).
