@jjlopez25100 my diary has a feature that is called “writing prompt” also teachers would give us prompts for writing. Is this the word you would use?
“Mi profesora siempre nos daba ensayos de diario antes de empezar la clase”
O el ensayo del día es “cuál es tu estación favorita?”
“Mi profesora siempre nos daba ensayos de diario antes de empezar la clase”
O el ensayo del día es “cuál es tu estación favorita?”

No, ensayo and redacción are just words for essay. Writing prompt is something a bit hard to translate, to be honest. I even use the word "prompt" as an anglicism in Spanish sometimes. You could use "tema (de escritura)". For example, "El tema de hoy es: ¿cuál es tu estación favorita?"
There's also another word for prompt I use sometimes that's quite similar, but I'm not sure if it's used in other countries. The word is "disparador", because it's something that "dispara" (shoots) an idea.
"La profesora siempre nos daba disparadores para escribir"
"Mi profesora siempre nos daba temas para escribir a diario"
"Me hice una lista larga de disparadores/temas para cuando no tengo idea sobre qué escribir en mi diario."

There are many words in spanish that do have several meanings by themselves, or simply, pleople don't know or used their whole acceptions, example: Ensayo or redacción. The two words that I suggested to you.
Ensayo, segun la Real Academia Española de la Lengua
Ensayo Escrito en prosa en el cual un autor desarrolla sus ideas sobre un tema determinado con carácter y estilo personales.

@LaAprendiz in this cae, you can used in this case the word redacción with all confidence. Mi profesora siempre nos asignaba redacciones (in plural) antes de empezar la clase.
La redaccion del dia es: "cual es tu estación favorita.
Redacción is a term, normally used in elementary, or high school (not always) environments. Also can be used in not formal education.
Ensayo is used in college, university, cultural, science or technology environments.
