We Offer a Variety of Daily and Weekly Prompts Based on Times ContentWe invite students to share their opinions and analysis about all sorts of issues and types of media on The Learning Network. We also invite students to respond to the many photographs and illustrations in The Times. In our Picture Prompt feature, we use a daily image to inspire four types of student writing: storytelling, argument writing, personal writing and analysis. On Mondays, our partner organization Visual Thinking Strategies provides live moderation for this activity to strengthen students’ visual literacy skills. Both of these features can be great for any student, but they’re especially accessible for younger students and students who struggle with reading.
