At Level II we should begin to pay attention to how we are using the language as well as how we apply the technical rules. Level III is where we make judgments about our use of the language to present information and ideas clearly and efficiently. Here we must pay attention to the concepts of unity, sequence, logic, transitions, voice and development. Level III makes great demands on our intellect as we write. But the truth is that when we write, we must think on all three levels simultaneously.
