This is a differentiated instruction RAFT for the classic tale Flowers for Algernon. The lesson framework is in place, but you will need to create your own rubric, depending on what skills you want your students to demonstrate. (If you are not yet familiar with online rubric makers, I suggest using Rubistar to create your four-point rubric: rubistar.4teachers.org/).
If you are not familiar with RAFT, it is a writing strategy that can be used in all content areas and offers students a choice in their writing assignment. R stands for Role - the person or thing that students will become. A is for Audience - the person or people who will be reading the finished product. F is for Format - the way in which the writing will be done. Examples might include letter, brochure, memo, speech, or advertisement. T stands for Topic - what the writing will discuss. Students can demonstrate their mastery of content knowledge in this manner. A RAFT allows for differentiated instruction because students get choices in their assignment based on their interests. It can be a very powerful learning tool in your classroom, and it is great to assess student learning if you prefer not using standardized testing formats.
