April 2020 PA-MOJA Week – Building our Global Community
We held a conference in Coquitlam on March 4th and the students brainstormed a number of different ideas for discussion during the April 2020 PA-MOJA week which will be happening from April 5-10.
You will find the topics with some suggested ideas below. We would like everyone to pick one idea under one of the topics and write a post in depth on that idea. Try to give specific examples so others can really get a sense of your example or thoughts. Don’t forget to put up a featured image and check off the correct category so the post goes into the correct location. (If you would like to have an account and join the discussion, talk to your teacher and get them to send an email with your name and email address to Alison Stuart).
The goal is to then comment on other student’s posts so that you can create a conversation with each other. HAVE FUN!!!
