Students love funny memes. Here are five ways you can bring that humor into your classroom (and school) to connect with students:
1. Class Rules, Expectations, and/or Procedures: Instead of your traditional class rules poster, use memes to deliver your message with humor. Better yet, have students create what they think proper rules and regulations should be. In memes, of course. You or your students can use a website like http://memegenerator.net/. You can also download full-quality already-made prints HERE.
2. Ice-breaker or "Get-to-Know-You" Activity: Memes are perfect for getting to know your students better. Break the ice with a "What I Do" meme or funny eCard. For a full lesson with printables and digital templates you can share, click here.
3. Promote (and Reinforce) Your Curriculum: Generate excitement with memes or use them to spark discussions. Posted around your room, they are sure to catch your students' attention. You can find hundreds of images on Pinterest.com with a search in your subject area. Or create them yourself.
4. Creative Activity: Students will practice both creative and critical-thinking skills while creating a meme related to the unit you are studying. It seems very simple, but coming up with appropriate wording to convey the right tone is definitely a higher-order skill. Then students have to make sure they use the right meme correctly. Without even realizing it, they will be making connections with the material while having fun. To read a more detailed post about making memes a class assignment, read more here.
5. Freshmen Orientation (or Open House): One of my colleagues came up with the brilliant idea to have our current students create memes for next year's incoming freshmen for orientation. The meme content varied, covering advice, warnings, and plain old high school humor. The eighth graders and their parents perused the memes during their orientation in March. The images always seem to generate questions they may not have asked otherwise. You could also use this for an open house discussion-starter. Graduating seniors can also leave legacy memes with words of wisdom for future seniors.
However you use memes in your classroom or school, one thing is certain: your students will love it!

I used memes posted in my class to remind student they always need to support a claim with evidence, whether in writing or class discussions. As soon as I put them up, they laughed at me and said they were "old" memes and "not cool anymore" and that I was trying to hard to be cool. Every day they came up with a new insult about the memes, but what they didn't realize was how every time they thought about the meme, the message on them stuck in their heads. Pretty soon they were calling each other out when they would make a claim without supporting it. At the end of the year, the students arrived to class while I was taking them down and they shouted, "The memes are gone!" I replied, "Gone, but not forgotten." And I guarantee they will always remember that you must support a claim with evidence because of those "stupid" memes.
