Explore the art of storytelling through the lens of memes!

About the Class

We'll talk about character development, plot, and story arcs using meme captions and images as a jumping-off point. Through hands-on activities and group discussions, students will learn how to create meme-inspired stories and share them with their peers. This course is perfect for young people interested in storytelling and creativity. By the end of the course, students will have developed a deeper understanding of storytelling and the ability to tell their unique and creative stories, thanks to memes.
