Research papers as a final project are not only entirely non-interactive for the students, but for the teachers as well. Students get little to no benefit from writing papers and many of them, myself included, rarely remember anything from the papers themselves. If students are assigned to make truly creative, alternative projects, then not only will they learn more than they would from a paper, they will enjoy the project more and will put more work into it. Making memes is a fun and interactive way for students to not only apply the knowledge gained in creating digital art but also to connect the themes of the class to popular mediums of the time.
I really enjoyed the content of your blog and how you are relating how you wanted to be taught to how you plan to teach. My only real complaint is that it was hard to read in the brown spots on your background.
