Shape Activity

Just make your basic table, follow the directions in the tutorial for the Web Quest.

In this case, for the shapes: 

   

 

Click on Auto Shapes and a second box appears, select the shape you would like.
Now when you move your cursor over the page it becomes a cross-hair. Click the mouse and hold it down as you move the shape to the size you desire.
Want to color it, click on the shape to select it (little boxes appear on it's border) then choose a color by clicking on the paint can. (Also on the drawing toolbar)

Once you have all of your shapes and your table is complete, save your project. Students will open your project, save it under their name (to preserve the original), then Drag & Drop. You can do the same with any content area...instead of shapes use the Insert...Clip Art.
