The document outlines the steps in the writing process: 1) Prewriting where the writer chooses a topic, audience, and content, 2) Drafting to get initial ideas down, 3) Revising where the writer refines content by conferencing with others, 4) Editing to check punctuation, spelling, and complete sentences, and 5) Proofreading the final draft. The writing process is recursive, meaning writers may return to earlier steps as needed to improve their work.
