Getting Started\nFor each spread, the first step is to determine “the angle,” which is the central idea or theme for the topic. It’s the way you will approach the topic.\nFor example,…\nIf it’s a sport, do you want to talk about how the team overcame obstacles, how they dominated their league, or how they struggled?\nIf it’s a club, do you want to focus on the unique duties, how hard it is to balance clubs with homework, or how it helps the community?\nIf it’s about academics/classes, do you want to focus on the work, the fun, or what it might do for a student’s future?\nII. Interviewing\nOnce you have the angle, you need to go out and talk to the people involved. This can be a bit intimidating, but remember that students and teachers want to talk about your topic. They want to be in the yearbook, so you have the power in the situation.\nAsking the right questions will help you have great information to use for both your copy and your captions. You also need to ask the right people, so don’t just focus on students, but also ask the teachers, club advisors, coaches, and administrators the right questions. If you do it right, you will have more information than you need for your writing.\nChoose from these questions before you go out to interview:\n(Be sure to have them written or typed out on a sheet of paper before you leave the room)\nWho:\nWho are the key people? (Examples: Most valuable players, team captains, club officers, committee members, inspirational members)\nWho does what?\nWhat:\nWhat exactly do you do?\nWhat special events do you have planned?\nWhat activity/game is the biggest for your group?\nWhat unique things do you do to prepare?\nWhat obstacles did you have to overcome to achieve your goals?\nWhat went right and what went wrong?\nWhat do you do just before/after the event or activity?\nWhat makes your group different from others?\nWhen:\nWhen will you be doing what it is you do?\nHow often will you be doing this?\nWhen is your big activity scheduled?\nWhen is the best time to contact you again?\nWhere:\nWhere do you do what you do?\nWhere will the big event/activity be?\nHow:\nHow did you do what you did?  (This a summary of the event from start to finish.)\nIII. Writing Good Copy\nOK. So writing isn't your favorite pastime. You probably think photographs make the yearbook special, not the copy or stories. You may be right, but it doesn't have to be that way. Copy can be fun and exciting, or it can be boring and monotonous. Either way it's an important part of fulfilling the history/record book and memory book functions of a yearbook.\nGeneral Tips:\nAsk yourself \"Why does the reader care?\"\nThe most important thing you can do is put yourself in your reader's shoes. The answer to this question should form the lead for the first paragraph. Keep the information unique to this year, not something that could go in any year.\nAvoid \"The purpose of ...\" leads\nThere is nothing that says \"I'm boring\" faster than a story beginning with \"The purpose of the Key Club is to...\" Readers want to know what the club did this year and how it was different from last year.\nUse quotes to provide a personal perspective\nQuotes are excellent devices for giving credibility to a story, adding opinion, and color. Get quotes that add good information and personality to the story. Avoid quotes that are general and don't add to the story.\nFollow subject, verb, object order\nWe are most accustomed to reading in \"Jane made the touchdown\" order and it is, therefore, easier to follow. Remember Subject-Verb-Object is the most easily understood.\nUse two-sentence quotes when possible\nNearly every quote is better if it is two sentences long. Short quotes leave questions in the mind of the reader. Often the second sentence completes the thought.\nBe specific\nGeneral nouns like boy, girl, star, rock are more meaningful when they are specific: grade 9 student, cross-country runner, north star, 50lb rock.\u000bThe more specific adjectives and adverbs you ","cbCaiuzwsrnJlzl5","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuzwsrnJlzl5","doc",41472,"English","# Getting Started\n## Determining the “angle”\n# Interviewing\n## Choosing the right questions\n# Writing Good Copy\n## General tips","[{\"question\":\"What is the “angle” and why does it matter for a yearbook spread?\",\"answer\":\"The “angle” is the central idea or theme for the topic and shapes how the story is approached.
