**Course Objectives:**
Students will learn to design and create yearbook pages using Adobe InDesign and students will learn digital photography and digital editing using Adobe PhotoShop. Students will understand sound design fundamentals and they will develop skills for interviewing and writing that will be a part of every yearbook page.

Expectations:
It is expected that students will reach their academic potential and that they will contribute to making the class a positive learning environment. In order to achieve this they will need to be, among other things organized, prepared and punctual. Any behavior that interferes with not only their learning but also the learning of others is taken very seriously and will have consequences.

Assessment
Grades are calculated by averaging the students total points earned over a quarter. There will be grade for major projects, class work, and participation (10%). 50% for each quarter determines the semester grades. There will be no Semester Exam.

Within each section the assessments will be weighted according to their level of difficulty and the time involved. For example. a project that takes two weeks would have a greater weight than a one-day classroom activity.

Participation includes organization, attendance and punctuality, being prepared, making meaningful contributions, having a positive attitude towards learning, cooperating with others, intellectual curiosity, perseverance, patience, team work, working safely, accepting challenges and follows the acceptable use policy. ||
