I was just wondering if you all had any tips for me, in general. What things did you all do in that class? What can I do to help these kids. They are 7th and 8th graders and they have more experience doing this than I do! lol.

When I was staff, we focused on reporting and writing copy. More experienced staff were in charge of photos. As editor, I was in charge of editing other students' copy and layout, mostly.
I'd do an exercise asking students to pick their favorite layouts from magazines and then you can comment on why they're good (white space, etc). Also, get them prepared for reporting by doing mock interviews.
I'm sure I'll think of some more stuff, but this is all I have at the moment lol
And our middle school yearbooks were cheap (~$15-20, but they were paperback). HS yearbooks were much more expensive.
