Description
This elective class is predominantly project-based. Students work both individually and collaboratively to design our school yearbook. Students gain skills in photographic composition, visual design, caption writing, and design software usage.Students and teacher delve into this process together, with students leading the way in inquiry-based problem-solving. They start with a blank slate and work to create a product the whole school can be proud of. This class provides an immediate service to the students and their families.
 
 
I love watching what students will do when given a few tools, a little push, and a lot of freedom. I'm grateful for the opportunity to see the results in this class.
