Writing to Learn Using R.A.F.T Roll, Audience, Format, Topic The RAFT strategy (Santa, 1988) employs writing-to-learn activities to enhance understanding of informational text. Instead of writing a traditional essay explaining a concept, students demonstrate their understanding in a nontraditional format. This technique encourages creative thinking and motivates students to reflect in unusual ways about concepts they have read. RAFT is an acronym that stands for: · Role of the writer: What is the writer's role: reporter, observer, eyewitness, object, number, etc.? · Audience: Who will be reading the writing: the teacher, other students, a parent, editor, people in the community, etc.? · Format: What is the best way to present this writing: in a letter, an article, a report, a poem, an advertisement, e-mail, etc.? · Topic: Who or what is the subject of this writing: a famous scientist, a prehistoric cave dweller, a character from literature, a chemical element or physical object, etc.? The RAFT strategy forces students to process information, rather than merely write out answers to questions. Students are more motivated to undertake the writing assignment because it addresses various learning styles

Differentiation is making sure each student learns what he or she should learn by establishing clear goals, assessing persistently to see where each student is relative to the goals, and adjusting instruction based on assessment information—so that each student can learn as much as possible as efficiently as possible. Formative Assessment is a huge part of Differentiation.

Four Corners (Frayer Model) Four Corners is useful as a strategy at many grade levels and in many subject areas. It makes use of a familiar graphic organizer. Four boxes contain the Pre, During, Post Learning Assessment words definition, information, example and non-example. The topic or concept is named in the middle of the graphic organizer.

EXIT TICKETS A Verbal Exit Ticket Have students line up at the door at the end of the period and as they leave they must share an idea or concept they learned from that class. Each student must give a different answer. No copying! As the students stand in line, they can discuss different possibilities with their peers. Admission Ticket Students record a fact, concept, or question related to their assigned reading and hand it in as they enter the classroom. The teacher may prefer to assign a guiding question. An admission ticket serves as a great technique for reading/homework check.
