You need:
- white drawing sheet A3 size
- ruler
- pencil
- black markers
- colored markers or pencils
Shot pictures of letter doodling and fonts - new and older ones.
Discuss the pictures. Letters in those alphabets are a kind of family. How can you see that? What can you say about the lines? Are they fat, thin, curvy or angular? What do you feel seeing those alphabets?
Draw a grid with your students (a lesson about using rulers is always a struggle!). In this lesson there are 2 inches between the lines and a half inch between the letters.
After drawing their grid, students design their own alphabet and trace them with markers.
