ASK:
“Does anyone have any questions?”
“How can fonts and type styles make a difference in a document?”
“How does the type you choose help with the effectiveness of Lincoln’s speech?”
Later in the year, have the students redo the Gettysburg Address using the skills learned in this lesson to see if they have retained what they have learned.
Evaluation

The teacher will monitor student progress during independent practice/application and provide independent reteach/redirection as needed.
MI Formal Assessment (LSI Quadrant III, IV):
The Art of Type Quiz
Extension
MI Extension/Enrichment (LSI Quadrant IV):
Students will use this knowledge in all graphic projects during the rest of the year. If you need extra work for remaining class time, have students find ads on the internet, and adjust them by only changing the typeface to see if they can change the target audience of the advertising.
