Yearbook Update

 In Uncategorized

Welcome to week 28!

I’ve created a topic within classroom to view the upcoming weekly activities that we need photographers. These activities are actually few and far between so we really need to work on completing pages as early as we can as the yearbook deadline will creep up much quicker than anyone expects. Getting the work done now means less to do later.

*This Friday is our last Varsity Basketball home game, it is also Senior Night so it is important we have a couple of photographers there for pictures. The signup genius is below:

Spring Sports have begun for JH and HS starts next week with matches starting next week for JH and for HS when we return from Spring Break.

Please speak with your child about their contributions to the book and encourage them to make it their own. Mr. Tauscher came into the class today for a pep talk and even said completing the yearbook on time would get us a pizza party 🙂

For students who don’t want to design pages, we do need stories written for each sport and elective. Interviewing players, coaches, teachers, classmates should be a regular part of the yearbook process.

Here is the timeline for page completion:
Day 1: Template selection and photo placement (maybe 1 extra day if photos are needed)
Day 2: Photo Captions and Headline Writing
Days 3-6: Copywriting (It takes time to conduct interviews and organize our writing. Meet in-person for interviews whenever possible to make it faster as emails take longer to respond to and follow-up questions take even longer.)
Day 7: Background (this is really the last step and shouldn’t take even a full day.)

I’m still working on updating the gradebook, I appreciate your patience.

What’s going on with Mr. Dudek?
Well, boys volleyball starts next week so what little free time I did have will be gone… and I’m excited.

Have a great week Roadrunners,
~Mr. Dudek
