The root of the term dates back to ancient Greece. The Greek word minema means imitated. The term “meme” was coined by evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in his 1976 bestseller The Selfish Gene. Though the book is mainly concerned with the propagation of genetic material, Dawkins briefly turned his attention to the propagation of cultural material. He observed that fashion and customs evolve rapidly, resembling the ways genes evolve.  \nSo what is a meme?  \nAccording to the media historian Patrick Davison,“an Internet meme is a piece of culture, typically a joke, which gains influence through online transmission.” Professor Limor Schifman defines it as “cultural information that passes along from person to person, yet gradually scales into a shared social phenomenon.  \nBRIEF HISTORY OF INTERNET MEMES  \nInternet memes are quite new, but their staying power is phenomenal. The dancing baby came out in 1996 and is considered by many to be the first digital meme. However many years before internet and the dancing baby, Kilroy with his long nose and bald head is considered to be the first meme engraved on the Washington DC WWII Memorial.  \nAccording to the expert McCulloch “an internet meme is a template of sorts that spreads by people creating their own versions of and innovations on that template.” Soon after the dancing baby in 1994, people incorporated images into internet memes. Today, many memes consist of an image with overlaid text, which can be altered.  \n© 2026 Rizzoli Education  \nNews News  \nWAYS TO USE MEMES IN ENGLISH LESSONS  \nThere are several ways to use memes in class to energize our lessons. Here you’ll find some examples.  \nSpelling+Punctuation  \nGive your students a meme deleting the second part as you can see in the example below.  \n Ask them to write the same sentence using the correct punctuation  \n Divide your students into small groups and ask them to create a funny meme using the same rules you’ve practiced in class.  \nVocabulary  \n© 2026 Rizzoli Education  \nNews News  \n Once you’ve explained or practiced some vocabulary give your students some memes to explain.  \n Ask them to create some memes using pictures of their classmates (great task when studying emotions!!!)  \nGrammar  \nUse memes to teach grammar or as a starting point for grammar exercises.  \nLiterature  \n Ask your students to summarize a passage using memes. You can see an example below.  \n After creating a meme students can write a supporting paragraph explaining their choices.  \nCreative writing prompt  \n© 2026 Rizzoli Education  \nNews News  \nFor lower levels memes are perfect for creative writing.  \n© 2026 Rizzoli Education","cbCaic3wR081XZq7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaic3wR081XZq7","pdf",865803,"English","# What is a meme?\n# Brief history of internet memes\n# Ways to use memes in English lessons\n## Spelling and punctuation\n## Vocabulary\n## Grammar\n## Literature\n## Creative writing prompt","[{\"question\":\"What is an internet meme according to the text?\",\"answer\":\"An internet meme is described as a piece of culture, often a joke, that gains influence through online transmission, and also as a template people use to create new versions.\"},{\"question\":\"Which classroom activities use memes for English lessons?\",\"answer\":\"The text suggests using memes for spelling and punctuation, vocabulary practice, grammar lessons, summarizing literature, and creative writing prompts at lower levels.\"},{\"question\":\"How can students create memes to support learning?\",\"answer\":\"Students can be asked to delete or edit parts of a meme, write sentences with correct punctuation, create memes in small groups using rules from class, or make memes using classmates’ pictures to study emotions.\"}]","Teaching with memes - read online free | PDF",1790609341,13]
