In this course, you can expect to work in a team to complete the yearbook. Your role will depend on the team you are on (business team, photography team, design team, regular team). We design the pages, take the photos, interview and write stories/captions, and then market the yearbook.  

On a typical day in Yearbook, the regular team might interview students and write captions. The business team might make posters and design ad pages. The photographer team might edit photos and place them on pages. The design team might design pages and prepare them for publication.

Most students in Yearbook will not have homework unless they do not use their class time well. Photographers regularly go to events outside of school.  

There will be a few minor tests at the beginning as we learn terminology. Most of your grade is based on production. 

• "Yearbook prepared me for college better than any other class I took at Mountain View. I learned to communicate and problem solve." - Caitlin R.

• "Being a photographer gave me the opportunity to experience sports on a different level.  You get to be up close and feel the energy." -Olivia C.

• "I met so many people through yearbook and nothing beats holding the yearbook at the end of the year, seeing all your hard work." -Nick G.

You should take this class if you are social, creative, and self-motivated.

You will struggle with this class if you are absent a lot or if you struggle getting work in on time.
