Choose language, style, and organization appropriate to particular purposes and audiences. Synthesize previous experience and knowledge with the ideas and information they encounter as they read and discover as they write. Use sources such as libraries and the Internet to enhance their understanding of the ideas they explore or argue in their writing; analyze and evaluate their research for reliability, bias, and relevance. Use readers' responses as one source for revising writing. Use standard disciplinary conventions to integrate and document sources. Edit and proofread in the later stages of the writing process, especially when writing for public audiences. Control such surface features as syntax, grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
