It's aMAZEing

Do you like mazes? Would you like to create one of your own? Would you like to earn some extra credit? Okay, let's get started then ...

  1. Open the Graphical Maze instructions
  2. Open Word and click on the Tables & Borders button 
  3. Create a table with 14 columns and 14 rows. 
  4. Select the table and then double space the cells using: Format > Paragraph > Line Spacing (Double).
  5. Add the word Start in the upper left cell and the word End in the lower right cell.
  6. Create a path between Start and End by turning off borders on the cells using the Border icon  - just toggle the borders on or off as needed. See example in the Graphical Maze instructions.
  7. Select an area of 4 or 9 cells and then use Table > Merge Cells to create one large block.  See example in the Graphical Maze instructions.
  8. Click in the area created in step 7 and insert a clip art picture into the area selected in step 7. Resize the picture as needed so that all of the cells around the picture remain the same size. See example in the Graphical Maze instructions.
  9. Create an additional path which dead ends at your clip art picture. See example in the Graphical Maze instructions.
  10. Repeat steps 7-9 to add additional clip art images to your maze. Include at least two clip art pictures in your maze.
  11. Use Word Art to add a title to your maze.
  12. Add your name to the page under your maze.
  13. Save your maze in your folder using the word Maze in your file name.
  14. Print out your maze and hand it in to me. Ask me first so I can make sure the printer is ready to go.
