Look through some of your old family photos, taken before you were born. Pick an image that you feel drawn to, then try to imagine your way into the moment. What were these people thinking, doing, feeling, and why? Write a short story about it.

Do students need a membership to post?
Anyone age 13 and under can submit work to us. Submissions are free for subscribers; some categories of submission have a small fee for non-subscribers. If you click the Subscribe button on the top menu bar you’ll find more information about submissions, and a link to our Submittable page (all submissions have to come through Submittable). On that page, you and your students can see all the categories for submissions (poetry, blog posts, stories, art, contests etc.), and any fees. There is also a category for classroom submissions which teachers can use to send in a group of submissions for their class at a reduced rate.
