A Year of Challenge and Change: Writing Prompts to Help You Reflect on 2020
An ongoing list of questions to help teenagers document their lives during a year that will define their generation.
As part of the suite of resources we’re creating to help students document their lives during this extraordinary year, we’ve rounded up a list we hope can provide instant inspiration. Here are all the relevant Student Opinion questions we posed on our site this spring, as well as an ongoing list of everything we’re asking this fall.
Each question is inspired by, and links back to, a related Times article, and invites teenagers to reflect on some aspect of ordinary life that has been affected by the pandemic, the struggle for racial justice, the 2020 election and more. The questions invite reflection on the present, memories of the past and predictions for the future. They ask students to tell personal stories, take stands on important issues, consider new ideas and use their imaginations.
We hope teenagers will find potential here for their own work in any genre — work they’re invited to submit to our Coming of Age in 2020 Contest. For instance, a student might make a photo essay in response to a question like “How Do Animals Provide Comfort in Your Life?” — or film a video that addresses the question “What Is Your Reaction to the Days of Protest That Have Followed the Death of George Floyd?,” or write a personal essay on “How Has Social Distancing Changed Dating for Teenagers?” or create a cartoon or graph in answer to “Has Your School Switched to Remote Learning? How Is It Going So Far?”
All of these questions are still open to comment by anyone 13 or over — and many of them already have hundreds of responses. In fact, simply reading what other teenagers had to say might be enough to inspire your own memories and ideas. For instance, here’s how students responded on April 17 when we asked how the pandemic was affecting their family relationships — and here’s what they wrote on May 28 about what they had learned about themselves during quarantine. On June 1, the last day we posted a question for the 2019-20 school year, we asked for reactions to the protests that followed the death of George Floyd, and over 800 students replied.
