Answer:
prewriting process
Explanation:
Based on the information provided, the process we are trying to identify has the following steps:
· step 1 - identifying a topic
· step 2 - researching
· step 3 - organizing an outline
Let's start by establishing which part of the writing process consists of step one, 'identifying a topic.' Think: When you write an essay, at what point do you identify your topic? According to the writing process, identifying your topic should be one of the very first things you do. Therefore, it must belong in the prewriting process (the first category in the writing process).
Now that we have determined that step one is a part of the prewriting process, let's check that the remaining steps are also included in said process.
After we identify our topic for an essay, the next step should be to research it in order to have information to create an outline for our paper. Since the next two steps ('researching' and 'organizing an outline') all occur before we have actually began writing our paper, they are also apart of the prewriting process.
