WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Yearbook Interviewing!
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Knowing how to conduct an interview is one of the most important aspects to creating engaging content for youryearbook pages. But a good interview will do more than give you material for your yearbook pages; it'll give you ideas of what's important to highlight and how you can shape the story on the page.
Student: "I will be able to conduct a one-on-one interview using prepared questions, active listening, and respectful communication to accurately capture someone's voice and tell their story for the yearbook."
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will perform a series of lessons in preparation of building our yearbook!!
Who will we interview?

Steps to get started...
Do your reporting and interviews before you sit down to write your captions/articles.
Skip using adverbs, and keep a thesaurus handy to find stronger verbs.
Develop a formula for identifying people in the photo (like, from left and Senior Jane Smith or Jane Smith (‘16) or Jane Smith (12)).
Be descriptive early, and get to the other stuff later.
Avoid (all types of) repetition.
