TKAM RAFT
Instructions: Your goal with this assignment is to walk around in someone elses skin. You must
pick one role and write from that persons perspective. Youll write to the corresponding audience, on
the given topic and in the correct format. You will need a separate sheet of paper to write your
response on, and you should complete about 3-4 paragraphs.

Use that characters voice! (or hypothetical voice) However, be cautious in using
appropriate language.
Use at least one (1) quote from the novel to support your writing/make it more
realistic!
Properly cite your quotation/s within your writing.
Remember to use correct grammar, punctuation, and capitalization.
Information in chapters 24-31 will be most useful to you, but what weve learned from
previous chapters will also help you to build your well-rounded character.
If you desperately want to make up your own RAFT to respond to, come see me!
