2. RAFT Example (Soc. Studies) R: Soldier A: (Me) F: Journal T: Revolutionary War
Dear Diary, I am well broken in now, as I have been marching all over the countryside looking for Johnny Reb. A Johnny Reb is just one name the Union soldiers call the Southern soldiers. The Confederate soldiers call soldiers like mine, Billy Yank, Yank, or Yankee. I am a bit muddy from the rainy weather, and a bit stinky, I must admit. My owner doesn’t seem to mind, as he is grateful to even have a pair of shoes. The Rebs sometimes fight in their bare feet because they are so low on supplies and basic necessities.
