might use this R.A.F.T. assignment in a unit when my students were learning
about persuasive writing).

Your assignment is to write a letter
to the school principal from the perspective of a non-smoking student
explaining why smoking in the school bathrooms should be more closely monitored
I actually worked with a classroom whose assignment it was to write a letter like this, which ended up being very useful, not only for the writing/learning process of persuasive writing, but was also well received by school administrators.
