I just went to a writing workshop and loved some of the creative
writing ideas I heard about.

One was called RAFT ... with the acronym standing for:
Role Audience Format and Topic

A sample assignment for 6th grade geology would be:

Role - Seismic body waves, P & S-waves

Audience - the crust, mantle, inner core, and outer core (in series),
and maybe the seismograph station

Format - Travel postcards

Topic - Earth Structure/ Earthquakes; Evidence for our current theories
