While this appears to be a great platform to help improve writing, it does not do a sufficient job supporting writing within social studies. It appears to be designed for an ELA classroom that may want to make cross-curricular connections with its reading/writing prompts. For example, one writing prompts has students writing a story about a Jim Crow Law. The prompt focuses on the student's ability to develope their characters, plot, and setting (ELA focus). A social studies focus would examine how well students described the cause and effects of Jim Crow Laws.
