An Intro to Yearbooks

1. What is the title of your book?

A/part
2. What school is it from and where is that school located?

Rouse Highschool in Leander Texas.
3. What "thematic elements" do you see in your book? This means what elements are evident from beginning to end of the book. What visual or textual elements recur throughout the book from beginning to end?

There are pictures at the bottom of the page that show students in a team, club, or class. They are "apart" of these things. Also the season is mentioned at the top of each page.
4. How many sections are in your book? This could be tough to figure out, but do your best.

There are 37 sections in this yearbook.
5. What is your favorite "spread"? A spread is two facing pages about the same topic.

My favorite spread was one about pep rallies, the page had pictures of cheerleaders featured across both pages, and included quotes from sudents talking about their experience at the pep rallies during the football season. 

6. When you looked at the spread, what was the first thing that caught your eye?

The title of the spread, "A Rally Good Time" popped out to me at first.

7. What are three things that you like about this spread?

I like the pictures of students enjoying themselves at the pep rally, I like the feature story, and I loved the part that discussed  what students could do during the pep rally instead of going to the event itself. 

8. What is one thing you would change about it to make it better?

I would make sure the stories were more organized, because it looks slightly cluttered on the page, but everything else looks great.

Yes, there is an Index in the book.l
