Rely on just one tactic
to get an interview

person to get all your
information for your
story
 Misquote them.


ESPECIALLY school
administrators/staff
Spell/misprint the

interview someone, you’re
representing YOUR
yearbook staff and your
adviser
USE WHAT YOU LEARNED..
ACTIVITY TIME!
For every picture that you see, come up with
questions you would ask the person in the
picture. Also find an angle for a spread.
