Explaining your financial situation, along with your hopes for a bigger and better product that the kids are willing to works towards, should help with interest.

Yes most def! I had actually thought about that yesterday when we were talking about no publishing. Getting the kids to sell ad space above and beyond what they were initially told to do. Right now they are just trying to sell enough so that the whole yearbook would be in color, but hopefully they'll sell enough that some money will roll over into the next year.
I will have them start doing some writing assignments and also some video production type assignments. Some of them are just really unwilling to do a lot, they don't like me and I guess it's their way of "sticking" to me that they are mad that the previous teacher has gone. Oh well....the opinions and feelings of a few 12 and 13 year olds aren't going to bother me.
