developing multi-paragraph compositions that are characterized by unity, development, and coherence
refers to the impact of context on choice of language usage (e.g., when texting, using informal short-form language; when writing an essay, using more formal standard Canadian English)
diction, figurative language, tone, inclusive language, degree of formality
use of a mix of simple, compound, and complex sentences; correct pronoun use; subject-verb agreement; use of transitional words; and awareness of run-on sentences and sentence fragments
common practices in all standard punctuation use, in capitalization, in quoting, and in Canadian spelling
Any presentation (in written, oral, or digital form) should reflect an appropriate choice of medium for the purpose and the audience, and demonstrate thought and care in organization.
