Third Grade students created Calligrams using MS Word. The idea is that by changing the style, size or color of a font you can depict the meaning of a word, for example for little you would choose a small size, for squashed you would choose a condensed or compressed font. They had a lot of fun and came up with some quite creative solutions. When they were finished they got to play www.cheeseorfont.com , a game where you score points by guessing whether a given word is the name of a font or a type of cheese. Try it yourself and let me know how you get on!
