YEARBOOK:
Yearbook is an elective course that gives students marketable experience in print media publishing. This course solely works toward the completion and selling of a large finished product, Carrabrc High School’s yearbook. Yearbook class is different from every course taught at this school in that it is a real business maintaining an account that must balance-out at the end of term. In class, students compose, construct, and edit all elements of computerized text layout, graphic art, and digital photography. Students work on many clerical operations, make announcements, maintain signs, take photos, and write articles. The course in turn covers many of the content standards and objectives encountered in English courses, as does it also for objectives of art, business, and computer technology courses. Because Yearbook is a monetary business, students must cooperatively work with others, must be hardworking, and be eager to be creative. Out of class and after school, students will shoot digital photos, design advertising, and distribute yearbook order forms.
Goals
Students will:
Identify and report news-making events; incorporate journalistic forms, techniques, and knowledge to document a year in the history of Carrabec High School and its community.
Produce layouts, photographs, graphic design, digital imaging, and manage the production of The Pride yearbook based on staff assignments.
