Explanation:

Prewriting:

It is generally the first step of the writing process. It usually involves outlining the ideas, brainstorming thoughts, free writing of information and listing out the context etc.

Planning:

It is the important step of everything. Without proper planning, one cannot achieve one's desired result. Planning helps us to avoid any unnecessary hurdles that come across our way while executing our plans.

First draft:

It is the rough sketch. It moulds one's thoughts and helps us to develop our ideas at the beginning of our writing.

Revising and Editing:

Revising is done to alter or make changes to the information in order to make it easier to understand. They both help us to improve our writing by cutting off any unnecessary data.

Proofreading:

It is the final thing that is done to your written piece. It is usually done to check your punctuations, grammatical / typo errors and formatting errors.

Presenting:

It is done after the completion of the project. It is like showing your completed work to others.
