Yearbook Peeps....HEEEELP!!!

[gee_ess]

Ours was published by Jostens. But that was, thirty years ago. Yes, way back in the day.

Have you googled any of the educational or journalism sites for lesson plans or tips? You might try the National Council of Teachers of English site as a starting point.

I also bet that the publishing companies would have some helpful guidance.

As a former high school English teacher, my advice this early in the year would be to focus for a week or so on some serious mechanics and writing skills in anticipation of writing copy.

I absolutely loved being on the yearbook staff! Among other things, I spent a lot of time getting my friends out of class on "yearbook assignments."

Ha ha! I was photo editor of my HS newspaper and LOVED to skip class to work on our next edition! Our darkroom was a great place to hide out.

my senior year, i couldnt fit the regular yearbook class into my schedule. but I had a study hall with a nun who hated me in the first place. every day i had study hall, i had to take her a pass note from the english teacher who was our advisor that excused me from the class for the period. the nun HATED having to let me out of her study hall. then i'd just hang out in the yearbook room, or walk around the school and take pictures, or go goof off somewhere. lol... good times!
