their story
Drafting - answer✔Students create their initial composition by writing down all their ideas in an

Revising - answer✔Students review, modify, and reorganize their work by rearranging, adding,
or deleting content, and by making the tone, style, and content appropriate for the intended
audience. The goal of this phase of the writing process is to improve the draft.
Editing - answer✔At this point in the writing process, writers proofread and correct errors in
grammar and mechanics, and edit to improve style and clarity. Having another writer's feedback
