Friday, November 5

Here is your assignment for the day.

Get a copy of the Yearbook Final Pages Assessment sheet. Choose a person from the class who is not working on the same section as you. Complete a detailed assessment of your partner's page. Be critical and try to help your partner earn the best grade possible. Provide meaningful and critical suggestions and comments so that you're partner can improve his/her page.

If there is an odd group of students, you may work in a group of 3.

Share the assessment with your partner and don't lose it! I will collect them and give you credit on Monday.

Have a great weekend!

Assignment: 10/28/201

For each of the photos shown below, write two different captions and explain how you would crop this photo to make it an engaging photo for the yearbook (would it be a close-up, a head shot, a large or small photo, etc). Email your responses to mccartneychs@gmail.com

1. Caption one should ID the students and explain what they are doing. Use action verbs and the present tense.
