CORRECT ALREADY GRADED A+
Prewriting - ANSWERS-Deciding what to write about (the topic) and
gathering information to support or explain what you want to write about
involves planning and organization. Sometimes the topic will be determined
for you, so this stage may be unnecessary.
Drafting - ANSWERS-Writing the first copy of the piece, whether an essay,
an article, or a letter to your supervisor, is called drafting. This first copy is
often called the rough draft.
Revising - ANSWERS-Reconsidering the ideas and content of the rough
draft, as well as refining the formatting and organization of the paper, is
referred to as revising.
Editing/Proofreading - ANSWERS-Correcting grammar, punctuation, spelling,
and mechanics is part of the last steps before publishing.
Publishing - ANSWERS-Sharing the final draft with others, whether you are
emailing it to your instructor for review or submitting it to evaluation, is a
way of publishing your document for others to see.
thesis statement - ANSWERS-A thesis statement isn't necessarily the first
sentence in an essay; typically, you'll want to hook the reader in an engaging
way in the opening sentence before inserting your central idea or argument
later in the first paragraph.
