Prerequisite: Must be in grade 11

Course Description: In Yearbook 11, students will develop their literacy skills to help tell the story of Walnut Grove Secondary through the publication of the annual Yearbook. Students are encouraged to combine English and Yearbook.  They will learn how to write for a variety of contexts and in different styles, including copywriting, journalistic writing, press releases, essays, op-eds, and podcasting, all while using their written work to help build the Yearbook. They will edit and refine their work for a variety of audiences and purposes in addition to learning the basics of Yearbook photography and publication.

In this course, students will be required to photograph school events, some of which occur outside of the regular timetable. As such, students should be prepared to volunteer for a minimum number of extracurricular events with respect to their schedules. Students must also exercise responsibility surrounding technology use, FOIPPA compliance, and camera equipment handling.  This is a linear course.
