3. REVISING

Revising is "re-seeing" your paper in a new way. That is why revising here refers to improving the global structure and content of your paper

Involves looking at the overall structure of the paper, such as the style, sequence, evidence, analysis, and organization.NOT correcting grammar mistakes.

4. EDITING

Editing refers to the actual process of making changes to your paper. Those changes could come from either proofreading.Proofreading is the last part of editing.Focusing on surface errors such as misspellings and mistakes in grammar and punctuation. You should proofread only after you have finished all of your other editing revisions.

5. PUBLISHING

Publishing is the final stage, when writers launch their finished work into the world. This is a joyful part of the process, as writers savor their accomplishments and recognize themselves as authors. Publishing is also a valuable opportunity for learning.

To brainstorm is not needed to add the information answering the questions. ONLY THE IDEAS.Here you can see an example:And another one here

ABOUT THE PROCESS

• A topic full of information available.

Paragraph 1. The introduction ../

• Add interesting facts

Make sure to brainstorm everything you want and need to add in the paper.

A brainstorm is a list of possible useful information.

• A brainstorm usually looks like a to do list.
• It is not necessarily a list though.
• You don't need to include it all, it will be taking shape in the process.
• Always have at least 10 ideas, steps.

If it is easier for you to do a list of general ideas first, do it. If it is easier for you to do it using post it, do it.If it is easier for you to do a mental map, do it.If it is easier to draw visuals, do it.The point of brainstorming is to create a path of information.

Try to do it easier TO YOU.
