build vocabulary for writing by confirming word meaning(s) and reviewing and refining word choice, using a variety of resources and strategies, as appropriate for the purpose (e.g., find specialized or academic vocabulary in reference resource materials to replace vague or inaccurately used words; maintain a list of examples of technical terms and media phrases with their uses in various contexts; maintain a list of homonyms, with their different meanings and uses in context; use a dictionary to find the etymology of unfamiliar words in a history or science article)
