- Student life beyond the cliché — Well-rounded coverage that reflects the diversity of the school and is personalized for the year is part of every yearbook student life section. In addition, the coverage needs to be fresh, unique and innovative as numerous examples show.
- Rugby increases in popularity — Rugby, thanks in part to a newly released movie, Invictus, continues to gain in popularity. Coverage of this organized, club or intramural sport can add depth to the sports sections of both the newspaper and yearbook. | By Bradley Wilson
- Writing to grab readers — Writers need to focus on writing memorable stories, stories that stimulate the interests of readers. By focusing on characters and images, writers can do just that. | By Lori Oglesbee with additional material by Jack Kennedy, Don Fry and Jill Geisler
- Conjunctions link similarities — Writers must master correct choice of prepositions and the helpful sequencing of details to enhance the connections writers make in solid reporting. Coordinate conjunctions help make the connections. | By David Pates
