Yes actually we are making TikTok for a class project. But there’s a reason. In class we are studying nationalism and historical significance. The way we are going to be showing our learning is through current day memes. Right now we are learning about cause and consequence. The third milestone for this project was we had to create TikToks.

Ok I would be very surprised if you didn’t know what TikTok is. But just incase I will give you a little explanation. “TikTok is a video sharing social networking service that is used to create short videos ranging to a minute.” But continuing on in this project we won’t just make a couple TikToks, we will also be making memes.

So what is a meme? A meme is a funny image or video that you would normally see on social media. A meme can also be explained as a picture or video that has a message/idea that is represented by using more then just words.A good way to explain a meme in one word is DNA. Memes are like DNA because They are like DNA because they reproduce and change all the time. As soon as a meme is released the people decide if it is funny or not, and if the rest of world will get to see it. If it’s not popular and no people take it and evolve it and change it to continue o in the world of memes then it will just die, and no one will be able to see it cause it wasn’t worthy enough. Well maybe it’s to that dramatic but thats pretty much the gist. 

Richard Darwin said, a meme can also be compared and described with Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution. Thought as an idea, behaviour or style that spreads from person to person within a culture. when you think about it memes are all over the place. Sometimes you don’t realize it, but they are there.

Ok I think its time for me to talk about the TikToks I created for this milestone.

TikTok #1: SNOW DAY!!

The first TikTok me and my friends created was about a snow days our school had. This was a great day. We got this idea from… well to be honest why we chose to do this one was because we forgot we had to do TikToks for our project to we hadn’t actually done any yet. So we decided it would be easy and fun to do one about the snow day. It turned out pretty good I think. This TikTok show all the things we did that day. We went sledding, we went to a cafe for a nice hot chocolate break. Well except Holly, Holly got an iced tea instead. 

TikTok #2: Yes, I still have stuffed animals

The other TikTok I did was about my stuffed animals. Ha yeah I know sooooo childish. But you know what? I am very childish. I’m practically still a little kid! But anyway back to the TikTok. This one was really fun to make and I really enjoyed making it. Hopefully it makes a little sense and it funny too.
