Welcome to Writing-Plus, an online platform regularly updated with accessible in-class activities, discussion questions and writing prompts designed by acclaimed poets, writers and translators on their own works. Our mission is simple. We want to promote literary appreciation and creative writing with authentic texts that stimulate language learning in local classrooms. We are also proud to have International Writers’ Workshop (IWW) at Hong Kong Baptist University as one of our project partners.
