I have the privilege of teaching at a homeschooling co-op I help organize. In addition to my art classes, I added AP Psychology and yearbook to this year's mix.
The yearbook staff all have to create a personal blog that will document their year; be their own personal yearbook. We have 5 out of the 6 kids able to participate with online journals. We got our last participant in tonight. As I look over the kid's blogs, each one is an amazingly accurate vision of their personalities, their aesthetics and their conversational styles. The colors, the images, the text font.... I certainly did not go into as much depth when I set this one up! It was obvious that, while this was an assignment, each one took it to heart that it was a view of themselves.
I can't wait to see how this yearbook shapes up. It was one of my favorite classes in highschool. I look fondly back on being on the team responsible for keeping track of everyone's life for 1 year. With the addition of the personal yearbooks, I'm excited to be let into their world and read about what's important to each of them.
Here's my daughter's site. Very Mayah-esc:)
