[W.9-10.5] - Develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach, focusing on addressing what is most significant for a specific purpose and audience.
- Audience
Broadly, the intended readers, listeners, or viewers of a text in any medium or format; in theatre, attendees at the performance of a drama, reading, or speech. - Editing
Component of writing and preparing presentations concerned chiefly with improving clarity, organization, conciseness, and appropriateness of expression relative to task, purpose, and audience; often involves replacing or deleting words, phrases, and sentences that are awkward or confusing and correcting errors in spelling, usage, mechanics, and grammar. See Revising, Rewriting - Grade 10 Annotated Personal Essay

- Purpose
See Text Types and Purposes. - Revising
Component of writing and preparing presentations concerned chiefly with reworking a text in light of task, purpose, and audience considerations. Compared to editing, revising is a larger-scale activity often associated with the overall substance and structure of a text. See Rewriting. - Rewriting
Component of writing and preparing presentations that involves largely or wholly replacing a previous, unsatisfactory effort with a new effort on the same or a similar topic or theme but better aligned to task, purpose, and audience. Compared to revising, rewriting is a larger-scale activity more akin to replacement than to enhancement.
