"We don’t care what you choose or whether you loved or hated it; what we care about is what you have to say about why you picked it. So whether it’s a piece about television for dogs or one about the challenges of war, tell us, in 350 words or fewer, why it caught your eye.
We’ll choose a winner (or winners, depending on how many submissions we get) every week. Then we’ll publish our picks in a special post, as we did last year and the year before."

"Way back in 2002, we sat down with a large group of energetic elementary teachers, and we showed them the interactive writing games that can still be found on our Right-Brained Writing Prompts homepage and our Left-Brained Writing Prompts homepage. We asked, "What would similar writing prompts--designed to inspire the very youngest of writers--look like?"
The result of those conversations led to the creation of the fourteen interactive word games you find below. We hope you enjoy inspiring your students to write original stories using them."
Terms defined, interactive exercises and more!
