Every week we'll analyze a popular internet meme for historical context relating to Imperialism.
Class experience
US Grade 8 - 11
Internet memes are funny and silly. Teens love them. Adults love them. I love them. Sometimes, I get lucky and stumble on a meme that tickles my inner history nerd just right- by summarizing hundreds of years of modern world history into, "knock knock, it's Europe!." This is a real social studies class, covering the real, extremely important and serious topic of European imperialism. Each class session will be centered around a meme we will spend the duration of our meeting unpacking....
Students wil develop analysis skills. Students will define imperialism. Students will trace the history of imperialism in the Americas. Students will identify historical aggressors Students will create a history meme. Students will analyze political maps and how they change over time.
I taught global history in a public school setting and used memes a lot; kids loved it and I loved it, and I hope to go further with it with this class. It's a great way to combine visual culture in a history class, and a great way to remember key facts that will aid in our analysis of really important events.
Homework Offered

I've taken care not to include memes that play on racial stereotypes or use bad language. History of imperialism is full of genocide, torture, and racism , so just keep that in mind.
