What do we mean by conventions?

Conventions are important but they are not the most important. The purpose of conventions is to guide the reader through text and make ideas readable. They are different from the other traits-in the first five we create the text-conventions allow us to edit the text and prepare it for the reader. The editing process makes the text understandable in a uniform way.

Ideas, organisation, voice, word choice and sentence fluency are the revision traits where we craft our text. If writing is meant to be read by someone else, then we must use conventional standards to make the piece as clear as possible.

There are five areas that editing a text must deal with. Spelling Punctuation Grammar and usage Capitalisation Paragraphing

Criteria Skill focus 1 Audience 2 Text structure 3 Ideas 4 The writer’s capacity to orient, engage and persuade the reader 2 Text structure The organisational of the structural components of a persuasive text into an appropriate and effective text structure 3 Ideas The selection, relevance and elaboration of ideas for a persuasive argument 4 Persuasive devices The se of a range of persuasive devices to enhance the writer’s position and persuade the reader. 5 Vocabulary The range a precision of contextually appropriate language choices. 6 Cohesion The control of multiple threads and relationships across the text, achieved through the use of referring words, ellipsis, text connectives, substitutions and word associations 7 Paragraphing The segmenting of text into paragraphs that assist the reader to follow the line of the argument 8 Sentence structure The production of grammatically correct, structurally sound and meaningful sentences 9 Punctuation The use of correct and appropriate punctuation to aid the reading of the text 10 Spelling The accuracy of spelling and the difficulty of the words used
