Classroom

Everything you ever read or write has RAFTS. Good readers and writers consider all of these elements in creating or consuming media.

RACE strategy lesson.

We RACE to the finish line every time we need to state a claim or answer a question and support our statement with evidence.

We use the story spine for writing and analyzing the narrative structure. This is the "formula" Pixar uses for most of their annimated movies!

We employ the Show Not Tell concept for descriptive writing. Good writes create clear and vivid pictures in their readers' minds!
