- Research a topic, develop an argument, and organize supporting details
- Evaluate and synthesize researched information
- Analyze texts to understand how and why they communicate their messages and effects to audiences
- Achieve communicative purposes for different audiences and contexts
- Show evidence of careful sentence-level editing in final drafts at acceptable levels of accuracy in syntax, grammar, semantics, and punctuation
