Ontario High School

Year

Pre: Instructor Approval

The purpose of this course is to design and publish the Ontario High School yearbook. This elective course gives students marketable experience in print media publishing. In class, students compose, construct, and edit all elements of computerized text layout , graphic art, and digital photography. Students work on many clerical operations, make announcements, create signs and maintain signs. Out of class and after school, students will “shoot” digital photos, sell and design advertising, and disseminate yearbook order forms. Students are responsible for the proper care and handling of our digital cameras. Pairs or groups of students should expect to spend some time before school or after school working on computerized yearbook pages. Grades are based upon meeting deadlines, quality of work and participation. This is a participation course; therefore, students with poor attendance or the inability to complete work on time will not be accepted to be on staff.
