  • Audience: What might readers want and need to know? What relationship does the writer want to create?


  • Form: Are the genres and language/discourse conventions an effective choice for communicating the text’s intended meaning?


  • Structure: What is the logic of the organization, arrangement (global and local levels), and development of the text?
