Summary/Abstract: In the age of technology, communication through emojis and stickers was replaced by memes and gifs in the blink of an eye. As teachers, the authors of this paper have asked themselves how these swift changes might affect our classes. If students communicate more and more through memes, would integrating them into our lessons lead to a better comprehension? To investigate this possibility, we built a concise grammar exercise involving two meme templates and had the students build two passive voice memes.
