During this one-time class, students will learn how to use the RAFT technique to elevate their writing. RAFT is used to help students understand their role as a writer, the audience they will be addressing with their writing, the writing format they will be using in their writing, and the topic they will be writing about. RAFT helps students demonstrate their understanding of the main ideas, demonstrate organization in writing, elaborate of their thoughts, and demonstrate clarity in express their ideas. Students will create a graphic organizer/foldable for each of the major forms of writing (narrative, opinion, and expository non-fiction.) Students will be expected to fold and tear paper during this class. During state testing, the only tools that students can use are paper and pencil and those are exactly what students need to use the RAFT technique.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Liz Booher! I am so excited to start my journey with Outschool. I have a bachelors degree in elementary education from Southern Illinois University in Edwardsville. Over the last 11 years, I have worked with children in various ways. From nanny to classroom teacher to swim coach to children's program director at a guest ranch.
After college, I worked as a nanny in Puerto Rico and Ohio. I loved my time working for families with small children and exploring new places. I even worked on a guest ranch in Arizona as their children's program director. For the last 7 years, I have worked as a licensed classroom teacher. I primarily taught third grade, but I have taught in high school and middle school, as well. My favorite subject is math with science coming in a close second.
My goal while teaching has always been to create a safe and engaging learning environment for all students. I love to incorporate songs and games into my lessons. I am very excite to see your student in the classroom!Reviews
