R.A.F.T.

R- Role
A- Audience
F- Format
T- Topic

R.A.F.T. is an easy way to differentiate any lesson in any subject. I really like the idea of being able to put aside your point of view and writing from someone else's point of view. I think writing is going to be the easiest way to implement this "Tool" but I think there are some awesome ideas for all lessons.

For example this math lesson could be a great idea for a beginning lesson to link math and writing together. It will also help students understand the concept that much better if they are able to write and remember it down.
Another R.A.F.T. I really liked was the First day of school, every student could be the Classroom Sheriff and make a wanted poster to help each student remember what the classroom rules are. I think in my classroom I would have them staple/tape this to the front of their notebook so they will see it everyday. 
After doing the research for R.A.F.T. I think it is going to be easier and a lot of fun for the students to see and research other points of view.
