    Unanticipated Inflation:

    Who benefits and who loses from unanticipated inflation?


    RAFT writing assignments are written from the viewpoint of a selected person. RAFT can be
    used to begin or conclude a unit. At the beginning of a unit, a RAFT writing assignment can assess the
    students’ background knowledge. At the end of a unit, it can be used to summarize the main ideas
    and concepts. The strategy guides students to think from the perspective of others, to consider how
    to tailor writing for different audiences, and to vary formats according to the purpose for the writing.
    Students use the acronym to think through and plan their writing:

    R- stands for the Role of the writer. Who or what are you?
    A- stands for the Audience. Who are you addressing?
    F- stands for Format. What form will the writing take: letter, editorial, diary, memo, etc?
    T- stands for Topic and strong verb. What will you write about? Why?

    Use the RAFT format to explain how each is affected by unanticipated inflation.
