Writing is a process that involves at least four stages, which may be subdivided into other steps depending on the situation, the context and the kind of text. Bearing that in mind, choose the option that presents the correct order for the stages of the writing process.

What is the process we should teach? It is the process of discovery through language. It is the process of exploration of what we know and what we feel about what we know through language. It is the process of using language to learn about our world, to evaluate what we learn about our world, to communicate what we learn about our world. Instead of teaching finished writing, we should teach unfinished writing, and glory in its unfinishedness. We work with language in action. We share with our students the continual excitement of choosing one word instead of another, of searching for the one true word.
