Through the vehicles of photography, journalism, technology and design of the school yearbook, students will produce clear and coherent captions and body text. Through caption and body text writing students will demonstrate a command of the conventions of the English language as well as use a wide variety of academic and domain-specific vocabulary. They will be planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach while designing their pages.
Technology will be used to produce and publish the yearbook as well as to interact and collaborate with community members for their input on the content of the book. Students will prepare for and conduct interviews with focused questions, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation. In order to critique their writing and design, staff members will prepare for and participate in a range of conversations and collaborations with diverse partners, in order to build on others’ ideas, express their own clearly and edit their designs.
