We created some group R.A.F.T.S. during our Weaving Writing Sessions in October and February. Below are some ideas from those sessions. The purpose of this blog is for you to be able to share R.A.F.T.S prompts you have created and used in your classroom. To share your ideas you will have to post your prompts as a comment.

Here is a generic template you can use as you create your R.A.F.T.S. prompts.
