Publication Design 1

This project-based course is designed to provide practical, specific journalistic experiences leading to the production of a professional Yearbook. The course goals focus on the expository aspect of the reading and reporting (oral and written), extensive practice in writing that goes through a thorough editing and revision process as well as substantial reading of expository sources and other materials that develop empirical skills, and rigorous training on written themes including body copy, interviewing, captions and headlines, plus visuals including photography and designing layouts.
Students are expected to assume the responsibilities and self-discipline. Students learn to appreciate the ethical dimensions of life while they search for information, and gain a respect and understanding of the viewpoints others hold. Students will need to evaluate information and convey intricate or multifaceted information to the student body. Students will develop real-world skills such as meeting deadlines, teamwork, working with advanced and professional technology,
communication skills and independent thinking skills.
