Use Lots of Student Quotes for a Personal Touch
April 2nd, 2009
If you have been given the task to write and come up with a great deal of content try reaching out to your students and ask them what some of their favorite quotes of the year where. You will find that there might be a handful of sayings that just stuck and you could hear students all year long mumbling it down the hall.
Often times there is something funny said out loud during class and maybe nobody wrote it down but someone always remembers it. If you have a page the speaks about a certain student matching a funny or clever quote by that specific student would be a great touch to the copy on that page. There is no rhyme or reason to how these should be visible in the yearbook. You can really choose to position how ever you like. These could very well be scattered around the yearbook for people to read and chuckle as they read through the yearbook.
You could also start planning this early in the year and keep your ears open for something funny that one might say. If you know that you will have certain students that might have their own profiles in the yearbook you could ask them to give you any quotes they have said or even a favorite quote. You could also ask other students who might have classes with that student and ask them to listen out for any good or funny quotes.
