Yearbook

Hodinová dotace: jednoletý seminář – 2 hodiny týdně



Cíle předmětu:

This seminar is designed to give students invaluable experience in publishing, graphic design, layout, and most important, journalism. The goal is to publish GVP’s first “American-style” yearbook. The purpose of a yearbook is to chronicle the events of the school year; from local news and activities to international events which affect our lives. In order to fulfill this goal, students who sign-up for the class will have to write publishable articles, both in Czech and English. Students will have to conduct interviews, participate in school events and write about them. Students will also have to schedule photo-shoots, use today’s advanced technology to chronicle, in words and images, the most important and significant events and activities of the school. Students will also be responsible to lay-out the pages of this yearbook, print them on hardcopy, and send the finished product to the publishers while keeping to deadlines set by the publisher. Students’ work will be evaluated based on the quality of their writing, their fulfillment of their tasks, and the professionalism of their work.
