HOW TO YBK

Feeling lucky?

Celebrate your staff by reminding them how lucky they are to be a part of yearbook. Here’s a quick and easy bell-ringer activity to bring your staff together.

At the beginning or end of class, have staffers interview each other about what lucky things they have discovered through yearbook. We also recommend sharing this article on how yearbook has played an important role in former staffers’ lives.

Or, watch this segment of our Editors in Convo series from Kali Rye, current editor-in-chief of the Encounter yearbook at Patrick Henry High School, sharing the value of yearbook in your classroom and school community.

QUESTIONS TO ASK:

• Who have you met who made an impression on you?

• What have you learned about your school?

• What club or activity have you discovered?

• How do you feel yearbook has made an impact on your life?

• What moment of yearbook life made you proud of your school or of a student?

As time allows, have your staff share a few with the class.
