Yearbook Story Ideas
Every year, students need yearbook story ideas. Why? For the most part, coming up with ideas isn't always easy given that a lot of student yearbook volunteers are new to the task. And, while this job of putting together a memorable yearbook may at first seem like a cakewalk, many have found this not to be the case.
The challenge in finding good yearbook story ideas is that a lot of common themes have appeared in past books. The issue is to develop ideas that are fresh, or take a different spin on something that may at first seem old hat.
Here are some ideas to kick around with the rest of the editorial staff, and, even if these ideas don't get you directed towards what to write, maybe they will spark a bit of new insight into what may just make your yearbook the best ever.
1) Develop a story about what community projects the school is
involved in. If the whole school isn't involved, ask around and see if you
can find out if any students volunteer their time. For example, a student may
volunteer some time to work with the visually challenged (be careful of your
language; don't use offensive old phrases or adjectives that demean a person),
or, some students may help at a local charity for fund raising through
canvassing.
2) Conduct interviews with students at lunch time and find out what
the worst lunch was they ever had that was prepared for them by their
parent(s).
3) Canvas your friends to see who may have overcome a
particular challenge, for example, a student who overcame a very bad
disease, someone who broke their leg(s) but didn't let that stop them from
participating in school activities. Or someone who had a real bad time with
a certain subject and detail how they managed to overcome this problem
and pass.
4) Since we all different, see if you can make a list and give some
detail on special or unusual hobbies of students, how they got started, how
much time they spend on it.
5) What absolutely outrageous junker cars do some students
take to school? What are some funny stories about what repairs they
had to do, or circumstances where it broke down at the most inopportune
time? For example, I had an old car that wouldn't drive forward unless
I put in reverse first and drove backwards at least a block.
6) What are the best and most used excuses for not attending
class? For example, flu, cold, upset stomach?
7) The range and frequency of excuses for not turning in an
assignment on time. For example, my dog ate my notes; my mom
through out my assignment when she was cleaning my room, or, dad
used it to start the outside fire pit, or the fireplace thinking it was
discarded paper.
8) Find out what unusual habits some of your teachers display
while in class. For example, always scratching their head when they
are upset with a student; making an unusually odd facial expression
when a student gives them a less than stellar answer.
