How a session works
WeWillWrite turns writing into a team sport.
Three steps, no student setup, and writing starts in minutes.

How a session works
Pick a challenge set from the library or build your own, then set the timer. Nothing to print, nothing to take home.
This is the moment of anticipation. By the third session, teachers say their students arrive already asking if today is a WeWillWrite day.
Choose
STEP 1
Students enter the PIN and add their name. They write in teams - not knowing who's on theirs - in bursts of two to five minutes.
This is the moment of silence. Fingers tapping keys, minds buzzing, a whole class concentrating together.
Run
STEP 2
The class reads together and votes, all texts anonymous to their peers. You lead the conversation: what worked and why, which choices were strong, what advice the class would give the writer.
This is the learning moment: when students get real examples or real writing, and feedback in real-time.
Reflect
STEP 3
See how it looks from inside the classroom.
After the lesson
Every session feeds Teacher Insights: a class overview, insights from each session and a portfolio for every student. Over a school year you can see who is writing more than they used to, whose writing is getting stronger and what the class is ready for next.
That is the part you cannot see from the front of the room.
Teacher Insights is part of the premium plan.

It really pinpoints the strengths, weaknesses, and improvements of each student’s writing and helps me plan lessons on topics all students can work to improve
The teacher insights have been invaluable

What do you need
What do you need
A screen the class can see and a device per student or team. Any browser works: Chromebooks, iPads, laptops and phones. Nothing to download and no special equipment. Students do not need accounts, passwords or email addresses.

How long it takes
Each writing challenge runs 2 to 5 minutes and you set the time. A session is several challenges plus the reading and voting, so it fits inside one lesson. You can run a single challenge as a bellringer and extend the reading phase to ten minutes when a class wants to discuss the writing in more depth.

WHY IT WORKS
WeWillWrite is built on one idea: writing is thinking. Students get better at both the same way, through frequent, low-stakes practice with an audience. Sessions are short and social because that is what gets reluctant writers writing.
Your first session can happen this week.
