Some states have removed former President Trump from the ballot; is this a good thing for democracy? Do you think the 2024 presidential race is an important one? Why? These are some of the election-related questions we posed recently in our writing prompts. We also asked students about sleepovers, superhero movies and in-and-out lists. We’d love to read your students’ responses.
