New Year, New Laws, New Memes - Keynote!

Promote digital literacy and visual communication skills with an activity that combines learning about new local or state laws with the creative process of meme-making.

As government or social studies classes start up in the New Year, have a discussion on newly enacted laws that go into effect January 1st.  Students might be particularly interested in new local laws that might affect them directly.  Use those laws as inspiration to design memes using iPad and Keynote.

And if you want to add primary sources into the mix… here is one from the Library of Congress that might spark a “then and now” investigation about the price of parking fines - all of high interest to your high school drivers!
