The writing stimulus can be anything at all. The stimulus is set up in the Activity Context and is seen by students via TOPIC.
A Writing Stimulus can include :
A picture, or series of pictures
Writing prompts to get ideas for writing underway
Videos to watch
If the Activity is a test, it's up to you how much support you give. In these circumstances, the Stimulus materials could be a list of expectations. It's all very flexible for you to deliver the content you want.
Stimulus materials go to all students. The Stimulus is directly linked to the question.
Don't confuse Stimulus with Scaffolds. Scaffolds can be re-used over and over across multiple Activities. Scaffolds are best used as checklists and supporting materials about the process of writing, not the topic.
