Inspiring the Muse of Yearbook Journalism
November 9th, 2008
Are your students having difficulty writing for their yearbook journalism projects? This is a common issue that faces yearbook students. With all the pressure to get everything done by the deadlines, it can be very difficult to come up with great ideas. That`s why it`s up to you to provide the inspiration.
Giving students a prompt, or an idea to begin their story with is a great way to get that muse speaking, but it isn`t the only thing you can do to foster a creative environment. In fact, there is far more.
Deadlines can be a major stifling influence for yearbook journalism, so letting the students who are writing have a little extra time to work is a good way to ensure top quality articles. You can do this by exempting them from some other activities, leaving them to do research and interviews or write, instead.
Getting students to team up on research and yearbook journalism will also help them turn out better articles and work faster. Despite the time constraints, you can help them manage their time and end up with some top notch yearbook journalism.
