Tri 2 - Lets shake it up & be creative! - Due 12/4

This week we’ll be using RAFT to shake up our blog!  The point of this is to help you practice thinking about your role as a writer and communicator.  By using this strategy, I’m trying to encourage you to write creatively, to consider a topic from multiple perspectives, and to gain the ability to write for different audiences.

Pick a role, audience, format and topic to build your own story for this week’s post.  Your writing should incorporate what you have learned about the candidates, issues and presidential campaign this trimester.  It can be funny but it also must be based on facts.  Please cite at the end of your creative piece what articles you used for the facts in your piece.  

Role	Audience	Format	Topic
Trump	American people	Ad	Gun Control
Clinton	Republican Party	Candidate debate	Abortion
Sanders	Democratic Party	Campaign speech	Why I should be president
Carson	President Obama	TV interview	Immigration
Rubio	Freedom Caucus	Tracker video	Campaign finance
Bush	Swing voters	Press Release	National defense

Due on Friday, December 4th. Have fun being creative with the presidential election!  I look forward to reading what you write!
