Conventional Writing
|
Writers are familiar with most aspects of the writing process and are able to select forms to suit different purposes. Their control of structure, punctuation, and spelling may vary according to the complexity of the writing task. Writers use simple, compound and extended sentences and group sentences into paragraphs. Writers select vocabulary according to subject, audience and purpose. Writers are able to edit and proof read peer and self-writing.
