Thanks to my summer ventures into self driven PD, I had an opportunity to play with memes. I realized that I was hooked when I was saving my 20th meme.
I wanted to duplicate this engagement in a class assignment for my kids. They have been asked to create memes for 3 assignments.
1st – after reading an article about school curriculum and listening to Sir Ken Robinson discussing how School Kills Creativity, I wanted them to create pro-school memes
2nd – as part of our Rhetoric Unit I asked for memes that can be used to help me explain ethos, pathos, and logos to future classes
3rd – as a response to our study of “A Lesson Before Dying”
Some were great and Some were mediocre. They had fun completing this assignment and I had fun looking at their creations.
