I'd have to be careful about these in grade five, wouldn't I? But it would fit in well with some of our upcoming work - the idea that knowledge is socially constructed and what is "known" changes from one group to the next is a really important one for critical thinking.
These are also a great way to teach sarcasm, inference, and humour. Having kids make up demotivational posters - or motivational ones - or one of each on the same topic - would be a really cool media project.
