Recurring Assignment that Builds on Itself

 I'm working with a non-profit who has a Financial Literacy course that is taught in Texas public schools via Canvas. We have a number of assignments which require frequent editing. 

For example, there is a "vision essay" that comes up every unit. It's not a recurring assignment in the traditional sense because in this assignment students are editing the work they did in the previous unit based on the things they've learned in the lesson. 

Right now these are all being done in word documents, which has proven itself to be a huge mess for various reasons, students sharing computers, not having enough experience managing files on a PC, in a cloud drive, etc. 

Is there a native canvas solution for assignments like this or does anyone have an idea for a workaround?
