Note: Unless otherwise noted in the course schedule, you will be submitting memes on the course materials. A majority of your meme assignments will be based on material in your textbook, Introduction to Sociology; however, occasionally you will be asked to submit memes on other related material. For information on memes please click here.
Instructions for Meme assignments:

1-As you read through each textbook chapter identify a concept, definition or idea that you can relate to or that stood out to you. Some weeks I may ask you to refer to a specific reading and/or course material.

2-You will take this concept or idea and create a meme. The text you include at the top and bottom of your meme should illustrate your understanding of the concept/idea from the textbook/specific reading.

3—You will need to use a meme generator (please review the Course Resources page or click the following link to find a meme generator: https://imgflip.com/memegenerator. Once you generate a meme, please save and/or copy and paste your meme. Make sure to right-click on the meme you generated so that you can paste it in a separate document (see next step). If you’re comfortable using a meme generator other than IMGFLIP you are welcome to use it so long as you’re able to meet the requirements.

4- In a separate Word (or another acceptable word processor) document you will paste your meme at the top of the document and write a paragraph to explain how your meme illustrates that particular concept or idea. Your paragraph (at least five sentences long) should include the following:
1. A concept/idea from the textbook/specific reading. This concept must be in bold font. Please note: Only the concept should be typed in bold font. You should not have entire sentences or paragraphs in bold font.
2. A definition of the concept. Please refer to the textbook definition. Do not use other sources for the definition.
3. An explanation of how your meme illustrates the concept. For example, you will type something like, “This meme illustrates gender policing. Gender policing refers to …..This meme illustrates gender policing because…….”
4. Include proper in-text citations. (insert in-text citation) and appropriate page number(s).

Reminder:
• Times New Roman, 12-point font required
• Double-space your paragraphs
• Headers and titles are not required in your assignments
