The document discusses a typography collage project for middle school students. Students will create collages in the form of robots, planets, or aliens by finding outline images online and using different fonts, or "type", to fill in the outlines and create the shapes. Students will follow examples of typography collages and be creative in designing their projects in Microsoft Word.
