I came across this meme last night and thought it would be a great thing to use at some point when you are studying the American Revolution. Students need to know that, yes, they will hear about this stuff again…even if it is the form of an Internet meme. This person used their historical knowledge to come up with an awesome comeback that, I’m sure, gave countless other people a good chuckle.
Classroom Uses:
- Put it on the board at the beginning of class to grab students’ attention (the day after you study the Boston Tea Party)
- Add it to a test as a bonus question and have students explain the meaning for extra credit
- Use it to remind students that historical references pop up in the most unlikely places
- Challenge students to come up with their own history meme
Here are some of my other favorites that I came across after the above meme inspired me to do a search.
