Course Description

The yearbook staff produces the school yearbook. Some of the skills involved in this course are layout and design using various computer programs, photography, sales techniques, advertising and marketing, interviewing, as well as problem-solving, and teamwork. Differentiated instruction provides a classroom structure that supports time, choice, response, and goal-setting. Students will sell advertisements to area businesses, help promote the sale of the yearbooks and assist in the student tribute sales.

Additionally, yearbook staff members will take pictures as assigned by the advisor/teacher and the editors. Yearbook staff members will assist during the annual picture day and during the distribution of the yearbooks. Excellent attendance and meeting all deadlines is a requirement. Availability of transportation to go to various school events and for selling advertisements is necessary.
