RAFT
Module 5
Assignment - After studying about the parts of a plant, Students will be assigned different parts of plant and complete a RAFT to share with their classmates. Students will create a campaign speech that tells why their plant part should be voted most important.
Sample:
What is your Role? Roots
Who is your Audience? Other Plant Parts
What is your Format? Campaign Speech
What is your Topic? Why you should be voted most important plant part
What is your strong verb? Survive
I may be hiding underground, but you couldn't survive up there without me. I am your mouth! I work hard all day sucking air, water, and nutrients out of the soil and moving them up into the leaves, where they can interact with sunlight to produce sugars, flavors, and energy. When it rains, I hold you in place, so that you are not washed away. I also drive plant growth. The bigger and healthier I am will make you bigger and healthier as well. We all know that bigger is better. I am your anchor and lifeline! Vote Roots!

Module 5 Demonstration
Assignment:
Imagine you are an educational musician that travels to different schools and
your latest assignment requires you to write lyrics about either slope intercept
form or point slope form. You can either pick a popular song to follow or make
up your own tune! You will be performing
in a local high school’s 9th grade Math I class so this song needs to
be catchy enough to grab their attention and explain how the equation
works.
Role:
Educational musician
Audience:
9th grade Math I class
Format:
Song
Topic:
Slope intercept form OR point slope form
Strong
verb: Describe
Sample:
This song is an original
written by The Trigs and was
retrieved from songsforteaching.com. It covers both slope intercept and point
slope form.
Y=MX+B, That's the slope intercept equation you see
M is the slope, it's an easy one
Just remember that the rise goes over the run
B is the y intercept, it's where the line crosses the y-axis
M is the slope, it's an easy one
Just remember that the rise goes over the run
B is the y intercept, it's where the line crosses the y-axis
Put them together and what have you got?
You've got the slope-intercept equation
You've got the slope-intercept equation
Chorus:
So let's talk lines and equations
All about points and intercepts
We'll find the slope and we'll use the X
To find the Y that matches it
So let's talk lines and equations
All about points and intercepts
We'll find the slope and we'll use the X
To find the Y that matches it
But what if we don't know B, the slope-intercept is
out of reach
So pick a point, and plug it in
To the good old point-slope equation
On the left you've got y minus y one on the right m times x minus x one
So pick a point, and plug it in
To the good old point-slope equation
On the left you've got y minus y one on the right m times x minus x one
So plug it in and solve for Y
And watch the slope-intercept form appear before your very eyes
And watch the slope-intercept form appear before your very eyes

WE WILL GRAPH YOU!
WORDS BY: JOHN A. CARTER
TUNE: "WE WILL ROCK YOU!"
Buddy, you're a man with a hard time graphing.
All you need to do is find the m and the b.
It's not too hard you see,
You put your pencil on the b.
Graphing's not as hard as you thought it might be, singing
Chorus: We will, we will graph you!
We will, we will graph you!
Now you've got a point on the y-intercept.
All you need to do is find the rest of it.
You need the slope to go on,
That's rise over run.
Delta y in delta x, boy it's fun, singing...
(Chorus)
Next, take the coefficient of the x baby.
Find two more points and another one maybe.
Go up or down first,
Then go across.
I dig graphing lines, I think it's boss, singing...
(Chorus)

Evan Ferguson RAFT assignment Completed from student POV
Create a remix to a popular song by rewriting a song tune to explain a science topic. It would be helpful to use the chorus of the song to emphasize the main point of the lesson. This is designed to be a catchy tune for your classmates.
For my example I am remaking Paint Me a Birmingham by Tracy Lawrence to "Ecology"
What is your Role? To describe a scientific topic.
What is your Audience? My classmates and the teacher.
What is my Format? A parody of a song.
What is my Topic? Explain what the study of Ecology is (or any scientific topic)
What is my Strong verb? Coexisting
"Ecology"
Explain some ecology..
From the sand to the shining sea...
From Appalachia...
To Death Valley....
Animals and plants go hand in hand...
Rain and sun helps the soil for the land...
and in Ecology....
we are "Coexisting"...
(instrumental)
Trees blow in the breeze..
and the world spins the seas...
everything interconnects..
even giraffes with a long neck...
ecology is "coexisting"...
every time you explain it to me...
From the sand to the shining sea...
From Appalachia to death valley...
Animals and plants go hand in hand...
humans can help it go smoothly..
will you paint me ecology......

Student Sample:
Theatre is another great activity. The
Greek theatre history began with festivals honoring their gods. A god,
Dionysus, was honored with a festival called by "City Dionysia". In
Athens, during this festival, men used to perform songs to welcome Dionysus.
Plays were only presented at City Dionysia festival. Athens was the main center for these
theatrical traditions. Athenians spread these festivals to its numerous allies
in order to promote a common identity.
Student Sample:
ABOUT GREECE
Greece was once home to some of the most beautiful architectural
wonders of the ancient world. Its city
of Athens was filled with public buildings, temples, and marketplaces that made
Greece a showplace among early nations.
Ancient Greece was renowned as a center for literature, the arts,
architecture, and exciting new theories and ideas. At this time, Greece enjoyed a reputation for
being a powerful and culturally rich nation.
Around 480 B.C., Greece was entering its “Golden Age”.
Geographically, the
soil is not very good for growing things, there are a lot of mountains that
make it hard to walk from one place to another, and there is never enough fresh
water. Because of this, people did not settle in Greece as early as they moved
to Egypt and the Fertile Crescent.
The earliest buildings that were built in Greece, in the New Stone Age, are small houses or huts, and wooden walls around them for protection. Later there are bigger houses, and stone walls around the villages.
By the Early Bronze Age, we find one bigger house in the middle of the village, and fancier, bigger stone walls.
In the Late Bronze Age, under the influence of Western Asia, and the Minoans on Crete, there are palaces and big stone tombs, as well as paved roads and bridges, and dams (and more stone walls).
PLACES TO VISIT
Athens
is the symbol of freedom, art, and democracy in the conscience of the civilized
world. The capital of Greece took its name from the goddess Athena, the goddess
of wisdom and knowledge.
Parthenon-
temple of Athena Parthenos ("Virgin"), Greek goddess of wisdom, on
the Acropolis in Athens. The Parthenon was built in the 5th century BC, and
despite the enormous damage it has sustained over the centuries, it still
communicates the ideals of order and harmony for which Greek architecture is
known.
THINGS TO DO
Art is one of the best things you can view when visiting Greece! In the Classical period, there are more temples, bigger and with new design ideas: the Parthenon is built in the 440's BC. People begin to build in the Ionic style. Democracy prevents the Greeks from building palaces or big tombs, because politically all men are supposed to be equal, and so it would look bad to have a big palace even if you could afford it. Instead, the Greeks build public buildings: gymnasia, and stoas, where men can meet and talk.
