The writing process includes a sequence of steps that allow students to write text for a variety of purposes and audiences. The basic steps consist of prewriting, drafting, revising, editing, proofreading, and publishing. As students move through the stages of the writing process and refine their work, they may find themselves revisiting a prior step. This recursive, or repetitive, approach allows students to identify problematic areas and refine their work.
