Writing Craft Vocabulary

English · Writing Composition · language

Know and use the vocabulary of writing craft and effect — form, structure, register, tone, voice, coherence, cohesion, argument, evidence, perspective, rhetoric, technique, formal, informal, and style — and understand that these words describe choices writers make intentionally to achieve a particular effect on the reader

What mastery looks like

  • Explain the difference between 'formal register' and 'informal register' and give an example of when each is appropriate
  • Use terms like 'coherence', 'cohesion', and 'paragraph structure' accurately when discussing or improving their own writing
  • Identify the 'purpose', 'audience', and 'form' of a piece of writing and explain how these shape the language choices

Check your understanding

If Writing Craft Vocabulary is writing a persuasive letter compared to a story, can they explain the difference in 'tone' and 'register' — and why they'd make different word choices for each one?

Prerequisites

None — this is a foundational concept.
