FINISHING YOUR BOOK
 
If you haven’t finished your yearbook, we know you’re working hard to do so. Now more than ever, your efforts and the dedication of your staffers will have such an impact on your school and community. Please know that we are all here to support you. Reps from all over North America are sharing ready-made spreads, content and lots of creative ways to fill pages without being in school. All you have to do is ask your rep!
 
We are collecting great coverage ideas for you as well — and we’ll keep them coming. Here are a few:
 
COVERAGE IDEAS
How we did quarantine: Gather a wide variety of stories from students/families/teachers and what they did during quarantine or social distancing.
Alone time: Top 10 Netflix/Disney+/Hulu binges. Who played with Legos? Who put on cooking shows?
Watching the sibs: Older siblings often care for their younger brothers and sisters. Consider the possibility for adorable kid pics.
 
 
20 QUESTIONS
Follow this link for PDFs to send to staffers. Each has about 20 questions they can use to cover a sport without the sport being in progress. This is one way to fill your spring sports pages without changing course dramatically.
 
AFTER THE BOOK IS DONE
 
Congratulations! Your book is done. Now what? Here are some ideas for online learning.
 
LESSON PLANS
Start over: Grab our trusty theme packet and associated resources and assign away. Consider assigning individually and then in small (virtual) groups.
Keep on covering COVID: Coronavirus coverage should probably continue. Assign some of the stories above for next year’s book or a supplement.
Teach J101: Our curriculum section, Intro to Journalism, has lesson plans, presentations and quizzes.
Brush up on skills: AP Style, spelling quizzes and answer keys. All ready to go in our Reporting and Writing section.
Stay tuned for more lesson plans and ideas for online teaching each week.
 
SPREAD THE YBK LOVE
 
Take a break. Remember when coloring for stress-relief was all the rage? Check out this yearbook coloring book. Give your students something to do to pass the time. There's never a bad time to combine creativity, color and some stress-relief. Enjoy!
