Publications III

This is a high school course intended for students who successfully complete Publications I and II. The student will select one area of publications for intensive, independent study. The student may choose to focus on reporting and news writing, layout and design, photography or advertising, or another field with the approval and guidance of the advisor. In addition to the independent study, the student will work in a leadership capacity (editor) with the Publications I and II classes. The intensive, independent work, combined with the editorial responsibilities of the yearbook, is designed to prepare a student to study photojournalism in college and to provide a transition from work on the high school year book to work on a collegiate publication. Note: Students may elect either Journalism III or Publications III, but they may not receive credit for both courses.
