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.

Then write a 1-2 paragraph reflection on the topic of privacy in the Comment section of this post.

You did it! You are infinitely smarter now than when we first met 180+ days ago. You persevered through a rigorous trial but you still have challenges ahead. Hopefully now you can answer the question we asked at the beginning of the year (Why are you here?).

Reflect back on your first year and share a moment or two that you remember most fondly What was your most difficult challenge and finally, share with us what your plans are for the summer It was a pleasure working with you all and I will miss you.
