Re: What are the various stages of writing
This http://www-writing.berkeley.edu/tesl-ej/ej30/r2.html is a summary by Elizabeth Cramer of Brigham Young University, of a series of textbooks on writing which I have used many times with great success with students in S.E.Asia. They are suitable for students from Grade 10 through university 1st & 2nd year English Foundation courses as part of a bachelor degree programme.

Re: What are the various stages of writing
This is my approach:
1. Free flow thought - just get the ideas out of your head, don't think about spelling or grammar at this stage
2. Draft development around the key points - I think of this as 'fattening' the piece
3. Edit - Re-jig the word order and sentence structure to enhance the style / impact. Fix the punctuation
4. Leave for 24 hours - If you can. You always notice new things and see the piece from a new light
5. Polish
6. Proofread
7. Submit
Writing is a craft. It's just like painting a picture - you know instinctively when it's finished and when you walk away from it and return you usually spot something you missed.
Try to introduce rhetoric where you can - there are many devices you can adopt: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure_of_speech
