What term describes the procedure where students plan, draft, revise, edit and then publish or share a text?

• A. Process writing
• B. Free writing
• C. Drafting
• D. Editing

Answer: (A)

Plan, draft, revise, edit, and then publish or share describes the full writing process—the sequence of steps students go through to turn ideas into a polished text. Process writing treats these stages as connected parts of creating, with each step building on the previous one so students can plan for purpose and audience, craft the initial text, rethink and improve it in revisions, fix language during editing, and finally share the finished piece. Free writing focuses on generating ideas quickly with little planning or revision, not on following the entire cycle. Drafting is simply creating a first or subsequent version, while editing concentrates on correcting language and mechanics, usually after a draft.
