a- NEXT GO TO MICROSOFT WORD AND OPEN A NEW DOCUMENT....THEN FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW TO CREATE A MAZE
1. Students will be able to use the table feature of Microsoft Word to construct a solvable maze. 2. Students will be able to incorporate clip art and WordArt into their mazes. // Table Maze Directions in .pdf format requires free Adobe Acrobat Reader. // media type="scribd" key="45306565" ARG0="key-1xja4lx29q8wct75z9zb" height="384" width="512" align="center"
 * Goal: ** Students will develop competency in word processing skills, specifically the table feature in Microsoft Word.
 * Objectives: **
 * Materials: **
 * computers with Microsoft Word
 * download the [|Table Maze Directions] to your computer
 * view [|Table Maze Directions] in .pdf format

//Click the icon to obtain the free Reader.// 1. __**//table//**__ - Microsoft Word feature that allows the user to format a document. 2. __**//border//**__ - Microsoft Word feature that creates line borders within or around a table. 3. __**//merge cells//**__ - Microsoft Word feature that makes a large cell out of smaller cells. **Procedure:**
 * Vocabulary:**

[ **Note:** See **Materials** for the Table Maze Directions. The directions contain helpful diagrams for creating a maze. Below are general directions for completing the activity.]

1. Students begin by opening a new Word document.

2. Students //click// on the //**Tables and Borders**// button to bring up the **//Tables and Borders toolbar//**.

3. Using the //**Table menu**// button, each student //inserts a table// with 14 //**columns**// and 14 //**rows.**//

4. Then students highlight the entire grid and double space the cells by going to: **PAGE LAYOUT**-//**Format/Paragraph/Line Spacing (Double).**//



5. The words **"Start" and "End"** should be typed in the grid. For example, **"Start"** could be in the upper left cell and **"End"** could be in the lower right cell. Students create a path between the **"Start" and "End"** by using the Border icon to remove cell walls. (Optional for 6th grade or higher: use diagonal lines and line thickness to create chutes and ladders.)

6. Next, students select an area of the grid to **insert a picture**.

· First, an area of 4 or 9 **//cells//** should be highlighted. · Then students merge these cells by selecting //**Table/Merge Cells**//. · Now a //**clip art picture**// can be inserted into that space. (Also use typing the portrait that is saved in you folder). Students should make sure that their cursor is in the newly created cell area. Then students can go to //**Insert/Picture/Clip Art**// to select a picture. When the picture is inserted it may not fit perfectly at first, so students may need to adjust the picture's size and proportion. Students can add other pieces of //clip art,// and they can construct additional paths to form dead ends.



7. Once the paths have been completed and all //**clip art**// images have been inserted, then students can use //**WordArt**// to add a title to their maze (using the Drawing toolbar). 8. Students should also include their name somewhere on the page. To make sure the mazes are solvable, students can preview the mazes by using the //**Print Preview** option under the **File menu**//.



*In closing, students print their mazes and turn them in. The teacher can make copies of each maze so that the students can solve each other's mazes. Also, copies of the mazes can be given to other students in the school (other elementary grade students).

** Assessment: ** When students turn in their mazes, check to see that each maze is solvable. Each maze should have the student's name, a title, clip art, WordArt, and dead ends.


 * Special Comments: ** Many adults have problems using the table functions in Microsoft Word. This exercise is fun for the students and will ensure they are competent in using tables as they format future school work.
