UFS211 - Task 3

Since writing interrelates with external pressures, students benefit most from writing instruction when it provides them with a sense of how what they write can be connected to the world outside of the classroom. It was assumed that the writing process generally operated in some variation of five "stages". The configuration below is typical:

1. Prewriting
2. Drafting 
3. Revising 
4. Editing: proofreading
5. Publishing

1. Prewriting - is the first stage of the writing process. Elements of prewriting may include planning, research, outlining, diagramming.

2. Drafting - prepare a preliminary version of a text and select a person or group of people for a certain purpose.

3. Revising - making decisions about how you want to improve your writing and looking at your writing from a different point of view.

4. Editing - Editing is the stage in the writing process where the writer makes changes in the text to correct errors. Having revised the draft for content, the writer's task is now to make changes that will improve the actual communication with the reader.

5. Publishing - is the process of production and dissemination of literature, music, or information — the activity of making information available to general public.
