HOW TO YBK: LESSON PLAN
Yearbook is a love letter
 
We know it’s easy to slide into go, go, go production mode.
 
It’s important to recharge your staffers and remind them of the important job they’re doing. In the words of author Pat Conroy, “A yearbook is a love letter a school writes to itself.” Watch this video and use this activity to rally the troops.
 
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. Self-motivation: There’s nothing like getting advice from people who have been in your shoes. Especially if you are new to yearbook, hear us when we say, “We know! It’s a lot.” This is good stuff.

  2. Take a moment: If you got all caught up in the whole back-to-school thing and haven’t had a chance, now would be a great time to read the Welcome section and Yearbook Essentials, which was in your kit. Take a deep breath. You’ve got this!

  3. Enable and empower: You don’t have to do it all yourself. Your students are amazing. Need some proof? Take a look at these editors from Christ Presbyterian Academy in Nashville, Tennessee. They can teach us all a thing or two.
 
SALES SPOTLIGHT
 
OMG, it’s October! That means it’s time to do some yearbook sales. It may even be time to get loud and obnoxious. Here are some ideas for making sure everybody knows that yearbooks are on sale.
 
ARE YOU NEW HERE?
 
Why is coverage crucial? Every student deserves to be remembered. Through yearbook, we have the opportunity to ensure that every student feels like a part of the whole, a member of a learning community. Therefore, we want every student to be included in the yearbook, and not just in their school picture.
 
Beyond being a noble cause, great coverage strategies help you build your brand and sell more books. For eDesign schools, you have a coverage report to help you check your progress in covering students. InDesign schools have an Index Builder plugin. Check out our resources to learn more.
