Memes

For our final blog post of Q2 we turn to meme's. Meme's are a cultural phenomenon that evolved with the ability to add text to images and distribute them online...



For this post I want you to put your creativity/humor/culture hat on and design your own meme. Your subject can be about anything but try to connect your meme to a subject your studying. For example here's a school/history meme idea...

Most important, you must respect the guidelines for blogging that we setup in the beginning of the year.
  1. NO DEGRADING CONTENT. You may not make fun of, mock or slur anyone
  2. Create your meme using correct spelling, grammar and punctuation
  3. Never reveal personal information about yourself
  4. Never disrespect someone.
As well, do not copy a meme. Come up with your own original idea using one of the following two resources. 



There are a few options for sharing the meme on our blog. If there is an option to copy/paste a share link use that. Copy the link (Cntrl or Command + C) and paste (Cntrl or Command + V). Or if there is only an option to download,...download the image and upload it to your Google Photos. Then click Share in the top right hand corner and create a link of the image. Finally copy/paste the link into the comment section.

The Power of Blogs

The great thing about blogs is that they can be about anything and it is a fresh perspective from outside the mainstream. Do you love to travel? Start a travel blog and it becomes your unique view on the topic. For this post I want you to pretend this is your blog. Write a post about a recent experience you had with something you have a strong opinion about. It can be negative or positive. Your post should be 6-10 sentences at a minimum. Compare and contrast what you are writing about with other things similar to your topic. For example: If you are writing about a record from a particular artist, compare it to similar artists or the artists earlier work. Same for restaurants, etc. See examples for ideas. The key is to be passionate. Ideas:  Movie review - Compare two movies you recently saw and what you like or disliked about them. Book review - see movie review... Travel experience Restaurant review Fashion review Technology  Examples:  Travel...
