Yearbook is the advanced study and application of photo composition skills, page layout and design skills, headline and caption writing skills, and advertising skills.  This course is designed to provide students the opportunity to work with advanced technology, strengthen their analytical and problem-solving skills, improve their communication skills, and manage responsibility.  Photojournalism, graphic design, budget management, and organizational skills are necessary to produce the yearbook, as well as guided practice in the areas of responsibility necessary for the production of the book. Students also develop their abilities to work as a team as they produce the yearbook. The aim of the class is for student staffers to be responsible for every aspect of production, including selling advertising, planning themes, designing covers and end sheets, planning the ladder, designing dividers, interviewing, researching, writing articles, editing writing for style and mechanics, writing headlines and captions, taking pictures, and designing pages.
