• Understand what an assignment is asking for in terms of writing;
• Brainstorm ideas for getting started on a new assignment;
• Develop stronger ideas, arguments, claims, and source-use in essay drafts;
• Read drafts in order to locate writing issues and develop strategies for revision;
• Incorporate sources and evidence responsibly and effectively;
• Consider questions of depth, analysis, organization, audience expectation, paragraph development, and style;
• Identify patterns of error in grammar or usage in order to develop strategies for line-editing.
