A meme is an element of cultural knowledge that is passed from person to person.

Today, we commonly experience memes as images with text. They often refer to current events and incorporate humor.

• When learners select an image and assign text to it, they are communicating through, designing, abstracting, and generating ideas.

• Meme-generating also causes learners to use analogies, symbolism, and metaphors as they exercise critical thinking skills.

• Some activities can be structured so that the powerful exercise of synectics is used. Using images and text creatively forges powerful mental pathways.
