Helper
After looking at some examples, get started at Step 1: Choose.
Choose a graph to explore
Help with Choosing
Each dataset on the left has a variety of graphs.
As you're looking at graphs, think:
- Claim: What claim (i.e. explanation, interpretation) can I make about the topic?
- Support: What data in the graph supports this claim?
- Questions:What questions do you have about the data / claim?
Make a meme
Look at the graph and make a meme about the data.
Help with Making
If you need a place to start, think first about what you want to say.
- What is the claim or question that your meme text is communicating?
- How is the imagery supporting the meme text?
Edit the meme text and use the "Change GIF" button to change imagery.
