• Why do you think it is important for the members of the group to get to know each other?
• As a group, discuss the different positions in your (designer, photographer, director of ... etc.)
• As a group, discuss how different positions may interact with other positions as they try to complete work for the yearbook
• Sharing amongst the group, does anyone have concerns regarding their position? How do other interpret it? Does this need to be brought up to your editor or yearbook adviser? If you don't bring it up, how will the issue be addressed?
  
• Sharing amongst the group, what are the thoughts of your current environment? This includes the classroom, interactions with other students, and the editors and adviser as well. Anything to be concerned about? If so, have you brought it up to the adviser's attention? If not, how will the issue be addressed?
• Regarding the yearbook: Who is our primary audience? Who is secondary?
• What service has yearbook been offering the school? Is it enough? What can be done about it?

Second: Work time: In your blog
