Differentiating a RAFT by Readiness(continued) • Topics • Easier to interpret to more sophisticated • Concrete & literal to more abstract response • More structured to more open-ended • Small leap in insight & application to larger leap
Analyzing a RAFT Lesson • What are the learning goals for this lesson and are they built into every choice? • How is this RAFT being differentiated? • Does it appeal to different learning styles? • Is there a range of difficulty in the: • Roles? • Formats? • Readiness levels? • Do the roles, formats or topics appeal to a variety of interests?
