there were memes before memes.
meme

Today, the term MEME is mostly used to describe the images with witty captions that are passed around the internet. Below, I have made a photogallery of some recent MEMEs.

By Friday, April 12, you will need to create your own MEME. Here's how you will proceed:
1. Create a new page on your WEEBLY site titled MEME.
2. Make sure the top bar has related images.
3. Choose one of the images below to use as the photo for your MEME. If you want to use your own photo or choose another from the internet, TALK TO ME FIRST.
4. Think of a witty caption to add to the photo.
5. In Photoshop, use your TEXT tool to add the caption.
6. Make sure the placement of the text doesn't obscure the photo too much.
7. Post the original photo and your MEME to your MEME page on your weebly site.
8. In the caption of your MEME, tell me what font you used.
