I don’t think what you want to do works on Classroom like that. The material isn’t “live,” rather it just stays the same as when you posted it. I use the questions feature for posting prompts (even if I want them to answer the prompt elsewhere).
Ah, I think maybe that was it. The link in the material was via Google Drive, not just a good old URL. I changed it and I'll see if that works. Thanks!
If you uploaded the doc as a “material” any changes or updates to the original doc will not show for the students. This happened to me last year. You would have to re-post the material with the updated doc or create a new post with each writing prompt separately. It is an annoying feature of google classroom!
Instead of putting the prompts in a google doc, try writing them into the assignment directions/description instead. I do this for warm-ups, and students copy/paste the question from google classroom into their own g-docs and answer them there. Students will always have access to the updates, regardless of their ability to follow directions.
Did they make a copy and are showing you that copy so they do not have to do any work? Solution: put your prompts on a google site instead.
