WHAT THE WRITER HAS TO SAY- THE MAIN PURPOSE

THE SENSE OF UNIQUENESS IN THE WRITING- THE WRITER'S PERSONALITY

EVERYONE HAS A UNIQUE VOICE. STRONG VOICES MAKE STORIES FEEL REAL

USING JUST THE RIGHT WORDS TO MAKE THE WRITING FLOW

NOT ALWAYS BIG WORDS-PAINTS PICTURES IN THE READER'S MIND

CREATING A SENSE OF RYTHEM IN THE WRITING WHERE SENTENCE LENGTHS VARY

MAKES SENTENCES FLOW- MAKES WRITING EASY TO READ WHEN READ ALOUD

GIVES WRITING A SENSE OF STRUCTURE AND PURPOSE

HAS A LEAD, DETAILS, AND A CONCLUSION-USING TRANSITIONS

THE RULES OF LANGUAGE THAT MAKE WRITING EASY TO UNDERSTAND

INCLUDES GRAMMAR AND SPELLING. POORLY USED CONVENTIONS DISTRACT READERS.
