Although I enjoyed Kaye's presentation immensely, a rush of panic ran through me. R.A.F.T?? Good grief! R.A.F.T. was an activity I had planned in my presentation. What am I going to do now? My presentation is Thursday and Kaye really rocked today.
Well, get ready, R.A.F.T. is returning. (Don assured me that this often happens.) I'm convinced I have another take on using this teaching tool. We'll be able to get in touch with our inner child.
I really enjoyed getting to know Beth a little better. We have a lot in common. Small world.
Have a great evening and see you bright and early in the morning :)

Lori, your RAFT was great. It reinforced the strategy can be used in different ways. I didn't go as indepth as I could to show how the RAFTS can make a significant difference in student writing. I should have brought writing samples. I hope people look through the folders. The 6+1 writing traits goes along with Sherrie's grading philosophy and Bean's.
