21. The Writing Process
Stages of the Writing Process:
– Prewrite
– Draft
– Revise
– Edit
– Publish
– This is a recursive process. Most writers move
back and forth among the stages
22. Writing
• 1. Generate, gather, and
organize ideas and
information to write for an
intended purpose and
audience
• 3. Use editing, proofreading,
and publishing skills and
strategies, and knowledge of
language conventions, to
correct errors, refine
expression, and present their
work effectively
• 2. Draft and revise their
writing, using a variety of
informational, literary, and
graphic forms and stylistic
elements appropriate for the
purpose and audience
• 4. Reflect on and identify
their strengths as writers,
areas for improvement, and
the strategies they found
most helpful at different
stages in the writing process
