This is a year-long course in which students publish the school’s annual yearbook, Gaela Mor. Staff members, selected on the basis of an application and interview with the adviser, must demonstrate a high level of responsibility, maturity, and organization. Students will gather news, photograph DHS events, write and edit copy, create layouts and solicit advertising. Student editors generate an overview for the yearbook and delegate assignments under the supervision of the adviser. Instructional goals include following professional journalistic techniques and styles while meeting deadlines for publication. Word processing and computer programs, especially PageMaker, are used throughout this course.
