Meme Making

• First, please look at Carmen to find the Smithsonian article

“What Defines a Meme?” • After you’ve read the article, think about some of your favorite

memes. How is the joke constructed? How do the visuals help communicate the point?

• Next, create your own meme (from scratch). Think about how the idea might be reused and reapplied, and use that to carefully

format the text. • Post your meme to the appropriate discussion board. You can

earn up to 20 points. This can be repeated 3 times.

Meme Reuse

• If you find a peer’s meme that you’d like to reuse, please do.

• Make sure that you follow the format so that it makes sense related to the original.

• Please make sure the joke is different than the original––meaning don’t just change one word.

• Post your meme to the appropriate discussion board. You can earn up to 10 points. This can be repeated 3 times.

***Remember, this is a forum in which others will see your work. Please be respectful.
