The workshop was held Friday, March 10th in C334. The workshop was titled, "What do you meme?" The workshop was tons of fun. I always wondered where people found templates to create memes because I love memes and they make everything less stressful and humorous. I will use memes in my classroom. I can see myself using them when I am covering the rhetorical device of satire. I believe creating memes in the classroom would work well with satire and many other rhetorical devices. I could have meme bell work examples--students finding specific rhetorical techniques that memes have or students can create memes that have rhetorical devices. The workshop was extremely beneficial for me, creating memes was quick and fun! That same day, I also created an interactive video on Toontastic, the link is provided. The video was an instructional video on how to create a free verse poem, the characters in the video are excited and ready to start on the lesson. I had a lot of fun with Toontastic, I will use the app for middle and high school, even though it might seem for younger grades, I believe they will still enjoy it.
