Welcome to Yearbook!!!

It is the role of the yearbook to record memories, achievements, and history. Good yearbooks reflect a theme and create an overall design that the viewer will enjoy. The yearbook tries to provide a thorough coverage of all the events and activities that happened during the school year.

The yearbook room can be an amazing and creative place but it is also a privilege. The yearbook is where students are creating something that their peers will look over for days and cherish for decades.

Course Description
In this course students will gain skills in page design, publishing techniques, and photography while producing a creative, innovative yearbook which records school memories and events. Participants gain useful, real world skills in time management, marketing, teamwork, and design principles.

Instructional Philosophy
Students will be given challenging real-world projects and assignments typical of graphic design, journalism, video production, and book publishing. High quality work is expected and students will be given opportunities to redo work until it meets standards specified during instruction. Classroom activities will include reading, research, projects, and problem solving. Students will often work in teams but will also be expected to complete individual assignments.

Out of Class Participation
Students are expected to participate in outside of class time activities. To produce a complete yearbook, students will be required to attend school activities to take photographs and gather information to be used in the yearbook. Due to the nature of publishing deadlines students will be expected to work periodically after school to meet publishing deadlines.
