Collaborating Memes

LI: to collaborate on a task

Collaboration is when you work with someone on a project. We also talked about what kind of language we should say to our partner or group. Formal language is the best to say to your group. When collaborating we should plan out what is everyone's role.

Our task was to make a meme about collaboration. We had to have a role to make the meme. For example someone finding the picture.
