Do students have to use writing prompts?

Nope. We believe that great visual Ideas can spark curiosity and engage student writers but also know that students often have their own ideas to write about. We fully embrace the option and provide the tools for authors to start writing and to publish writing with their own ideas and images.

Teachers on Write About use Ideas to provide choices within a certain genre or topic, to start a discussion around literature, have students reflect across content areas, and for thousands of other purposes.
