Yearbook students use cross-curricular academic skills in a real-world context: they collaborate to run a business, creating and marketing a product for their peers. In the process they communicate through interviews, writing and presenting stories with both photos and words. They think critically as they plan, create, edit, market and track to goals. They collaborate as they individually contribute to a group venture and they think creatively as they come up with solutions to problems and create layouts.
Yearbook students spend about 100 hours in computer seat time utilizing cutting-edge technology including design programs, word processing, research and digital photography.
