Prewriting is the first step of the writing process where you gather your ideas and plan your writing.

Drafting is the step in the writing process where you write your ideas in complete sentences without worrying about spelling, capitalization, or punctuation.

In the editing step, you correct spelling, capitalization, and punctuation errors in your writing.

Revising is the step where you improve your writing by making changes to content, structure, and clarity.

Publishing is the final step of the writing process where you share your completed work with others.

A graphic organizer is used during prewriting to help organize thoughts and ideas visually.

Planning your writing means organizing your ideas and deciding how to present them before you start drafting.
