Yearbook Time-lines
Create a timeline with milestones for these tasks:
- Choosing a yearbook theme.
- Picking a yearbook cover design.
- Continuing the yearbook sale.
- Completing the ladder diagram.
- Assigning pages to individuals.
- Assigning deadlines for photos to be uploaded for certain events.
- Submitting yearbook pages.
- Assign all spreads at the beginning of the year, so people see the individual tasks and plan accordingly.
- Assign mini-deadlines for each spread, like photos, copy and layout.
- Pair people into teams so they can help keep each other on track—this will teach delegation and time management.
