Description

The RAFT writing strategy is a structured approach designed to help students produce clear, focused, and engaging written pieces tailored for specific audiences. The acronym RAFT stands for Role, Audience, Format, and Topic, each playing a crucial role in the writing process. In this lesson, students explore their writing persona (Role), identify who they are addressing (Audience), decide on the form their writing will take (Format), and pinpoint the main message they wish to convey (Topic). Through practical examples and a structured outline, students are encouraged to think creatively and critically as they engage in writing scenarios tailored to their audience while reinforcing essential writing skills.
