"Journalism is fun and teaches good communication skills needed for real life." -Payten Bailey
Prerequisite: Journalism I, C+ or higher grades in all English classes
Considerations: This two-semester, elective course is open to juniors and seniors who have successfully completed Journalism I. Seniors who have completed Journalism I and II may apply for Advanced Studies.
Course Description: In Journalism II, students design and produce the school publications: the Boone High Spotlight (the high school newspaper) and The Boone High Scroll (the high school yearbook). They learn news, feature, review, editorial and sports writing styles as well as photography, layout, and design principles. Using a
computer desktop publishing program, they design pages and finalize their work. Students also familiarize themselves with the business aspects of publications by handling advertising accounts.
