Discuss topics from last week, including what the yearbook was, what it offered vs what it should be, what it should offer.
Today will be very much like last class.
Second: Split into specialties
If you have any trouble with the following, please bring it to my attention so I can help you.
Directors: become a master of your area of focus. Make sure you understand what makes something good good, and how to improve things that aren't quite there yet.
Photographers: continue learning about photography through magazines or internet. Tell me about what you learned, summarize the concept or the information you read. Was it good information, and will it be useful?
ID Staff: A day? Continue working on website. Need a written and drawn out plan before creating the actual website.
B day? Label calendars with recipients names. Finish early? learn about social networks. Is there a way we can use this to increase yearbook success?
Designers: Look at layout designs in physical or e-sources. Discuss some of the really good ones, what makes them good? Talk about it in your blog.
Third: Post on blog.
What did you do today? Was it beneficial as a member of yearbook? Why or why not? Anything else I should know about what you did today in class? These post-class reflections are part of how you will be graded, if you earned a good grade for your work today, fight for it (with a well thought out and polite post). What's next (upcoming events to cover? plans for next class? plans between now and next class?)?

Writers & captions: Continue learning about written content in yearbooks. Use online sources or physical sources. Discuss. Reflect on what you did in your blog.
Marketers: Finish order form. Continue working on marketing goals. Reflect in your blogs.
Digital Artists: Continue learning photoshop. Having trouble with photoshop? Lynda.com's video tutorials is a great place to start. Check out and use the official adobe website, magazines on the shelves, adobe tv, and there's plenty others too. There are also plenty of resources out theres, such as Design Review's learn photoshop in 24 hours, About.com's Photoshop Basics, and Photoshop Essentials just to name a few. Post your work in photoshop as you progress through different tutorials and other learning tools (even if not-yet-finished) at the end of class in the reflection. Where did you find the information/tutorial? How did it go, was it successful? How was going through it beneficial for you in this class?
