Yearbook lesson for 26 November

Here's what's up for Tuesday 26 November...

Brayden and Quin - I'd like you both to cover this week for the yearbook.  Please see the TOC about getting the camera.  Take some time this block to check out what's going on in different classrooms and maybe take some pictures here and there.  In particular, check out the band room, the art room, and the other elective classes like cooking, sewing, metal work, wood work, etc.  ARRANGE WITH THE TOC TO RETURN THE CAMERA AT AN APPROPRIATE TIME.

For the rest of you, here's what I'd like to see you accomplish today...

1.  Spend a few minutes getting your layout ready for photos and captions.  Please DO NOT place any photos until I have approved your layout.  Is there a spot for a bit of copy or maybe a mention of important current events?  If not, where could you fit it in?

2.  Go back over your week and ask yourself these questions...
  • What were the main events that took place during my week? (or your month if you're doing a month page)
  • Do I have photos in my signature folder that are representative of these events?  Is anything missing?
  • If I'm not going to have a large copy on my layout, how will I communicate the details of these events?
3.  Once you're sure you have the right photos and you've thought about communicating the details, open up an Open Office document and save it into your signature folder.  Write a detailed caption for each photo you plan on putting into your layout.  Remember, these need to have the following elements:
  • Start with a lead in phrase.
  • Write the first sentence in the present tense.
  • Write 2-3 more sentences giving more information about the event.
  • Include the names of EVERYONE in the photo (but never start your first sentence with names)
4.  This should keep you very busy today.  If you get done, be sure to index your mug photos in the red index binder. 

PLEASE MAKE SURE ALL MUG BOOKS AND THE INDEX BINDER ARE RETURNED TO THE YEARBOOK CABINET AT THE END OF THE CLASS.  ALSO TURN OFF MONITORS AND COMPUTERS.
