HOW TO YBK: LESSON PLAN
Wait, what goes on the spine?
 
You’re not the first adviser who asked. Here’s a guide to the book-cover essentials. And, hey, a quiz because we know you love a quiz.
 
If you have great ideas and lesson plans to share with your yearbook friends — and we know you do — email them to ybk@herffjones.com. We’d love to hear from you!
 
CHECK OUT THESE THREE THINGS, TOO
  1. Follow the reference rules: There’s a formula for making your reference section look neat and tidy. Train your staffers using these resources.

  2. Don’t let club photos get you down: We have the plan, the processes and the passes. Take a look at all of the resources in the People and Index section, online and on pages 8–11 of the booklet.

  3. Make routines a thing: Reign in the crazy by teaching and reteaching your staff to follow routines. Everyone benefits from well-defined and agreed-upon expectations. We have samples, but by all means, make your own. You’ll be glad you did. When you come up with a brilliant plan, share it with us by sending it to ybk@herffjones.com.
 
SALES SPOTLIGHT
 
If there’s an assembly, there’s a way. Take advantage of full-class gatherings to collect student information and sell books. Even if you can’t call your own assembly, you can latch onto class ring assemblies, class meetings and other opportunities for a captive audience. Here are some tips for making the most of assemblies.
 
ARE YOU NEW HERE?
 
When it comes to photos, you may think you have to do a bunch of crazy things to make them look great. With sharp focus and good lighting, you can take terrific photos with a cell phone (not that we don’t love great cameras).
 
Check out the Cameras and Photos section for guidance. But, did you know that you shouldn’t color correct photos on spreads? We do that for you. Click here for more.
