Over the last several years, my students have expressed how much they wish they had an opportunity to memorialize memories of various events. After an especially interesting field trip they would say "Oh man, I wish we had taken pictures there; it was so much fun!" They've also spoken about how much they wish their time on school sports teams, dance teams or as a member of the talent show was captured in some way for them to reflect on. We will use the cameras and computer to create our school's first yearbook! In addition to taking pictures and creating funny and thoughtful captions, students will learn how to organize the information included in the yearbook, select pictures that fit the assignment, and use digital media software to design eye-catching layouts. Above all that, they will continue to learn how to work as a team to ensure that their final product reflects the ideas and vision of each committee member.
