Using Meme making as a learning activity for 20th Century United States history just got easier with the Library's collection of photographs by Bernard Gotfryd. (Browse photos here)
As students learn about some of these political figures they might try some meme making by researching a quote from their selected subject and lettering it over the image on a slide. I tried out some examples in this album. Feel free to add more!
Additional Gotfryd photographs are discussed in our Network here:
- Group -The Arts and Primary sources: Portraiture of the 20th Century
- Group -American Jewish Experience: Holocaust Survivor & Photographer Bernard Gotfryd’s Work
- Group -United States History: 20th Century Pop-Culture and Politics

My colleagues post incredibly fine resources and ideas....the caliber of the suggestions and resources make me feel that I take a lot from it. It's a takeaway. And I hope that I can give back as much as I get.
