We discussed the TED talk that we watched yesterday, which compared memes to folklore. The speaker presented the idea that folklore, and by extension memes, showcase the culture of the people from that time period. While scholars may not pay attention to it, the information that can be gleamed is still just as important as other sources.
We then went over the summer reading project. The goal is to make a book cover that illustrates what happened prior that caused the characters to act in the way they did. We also have to make an accompanying presentation to explain our choices.
