RAFT Activity


We're working on a RAFT activity that includes some new vocabulary.  Here's the video we watched to help you review.

ETHOS, PATHOS, and LOGOS


RAFT stands for Role, Audience, Form, and Task.  The assignment we're working on is below, along with the group roles.  

Role - Katniss
Audience – Citizens of Panem
Form – Persuasive Speech
Task – Convince them to rally against the 3rd Quarter Quell

GROUP ROLES
Recorder – Write out the speech as you and your group-mates talk it out.  
Speaker – During the writing process, make sure that there are better word choices being made (brilliant instead of smart; stunning instead of pretty; heart-breaking instead of sad). 
Grammar Police – Contribute to the brainstorm and, after the speech is written, look for proper punctuation and full, complete sentences.
Content Police – make sure there are two rhetorical devices used (pathos, logos, ethos).
