Students should already have the basic concepts of Microsoft word. This lesson will
focus on using the Insert tool and how to save and download an image to use for
their collage. Students can focus on sizing their images and words, and what words
are more important to them. This allows for an opportunity to help students build
a healthy and positive self-esteem.

Activity: In the Center of each word document students will add a text box with
students name first and last. Then students may choose a number of positive
images that represents themselves or their likes. This can be anything as long as it
is school appropriate. The image must have meaning to the student. Now it is time
to choose words! Positive words that the student feels describe themselves or their
personality.
Students may also add words they would like to encompass in the future like job
roles or future leader, etc.

Students may be as creative as they like and use the tools in MW to their
advantage.
