One email to confirm it is you, then one a day.
The dilemma changes overnight and there is nothing to pick from, so whatever is up this morning is what every other class opening the page gets, which means the room next door is arguing about the same thing yours is.
All of them are things that could happen to a student this week, in a corridor or on a bus or in a group chat, and none of them has an answer printed anywhere, so once the room has settled the button makes the situation worse and the vote usually comes out differently the second time. There is nothing to sign up for or install, and the email is optional.
There are thirteen more sets on the site, free the same way: a year of Do Nows, summary writing, sentence starters, transition words, literary devices, and quote banks for Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, Frankenstein, Jekyll and Hyde, A Christmas Carol and Gatsby.
Only the days already gone. Today is on the board and tomorrow arrives overnight.
Something that actually happened sits at the top, with a line underneath telling students what to write about it, straight onto the board with a timer running. New every school day.
Open today’s promptLong Story Short gives you one real news sentence. You cut it down to five of its own words, and what is left has to still be the story. Two minutes, a new one every day, nothing to sign into. Same room, same argument, a different muscle.
