Lakeview ELA teachers are excited to get a boost from all teachers as a foundation for writing using the acronym R.A.C.E.S. will be on display in other disciplines to support writing across the curriculum.
The RACES writing strategy is an acronym that stands for the following components:
Restate
This refers to restating or rephrasing the question or prompt in your own words to ensure that you understand it correctly.
Answer
Provide a clear and concise answer to the question or prompt. This is the main part of your response and should directly address what is being asked.
Cite
Support your answer with evidence or examples. This could involve referencing specific facts, data, quotations, or other sources of information that support your response. Citing your sources helps to strengthen your argument and provide credibility to your writing.
Explain
Elaborate on your answer and provide further clarification or reasoning. Explain how your evidence or examples support your answer and demonstrate your understanding of the topic.
Summarize
Summarize your response by restating your main points and bringing your writing to a conclusion. This helps to reinforce your main argument and leave a lasting impression on the reader.
