Yearbook Class! Term II (Sieglinde)

Career & Technical Credit (CTE)

In this twice weekly, yearlong class, students design, lay out, edit, and print the 24-25 PSCS Yearbook. Over the course of three terms, students use community-process to decide on a theme to represent the school year, and collaborate to ensure representation of the student experience, student creativity, and to archive important local and global events.

In small and full group process, students create a timeline, track deadlines, write copy, take pictures, solicit content, and organize pages using a fun, accessible, online cloud-based marketing platform (Canva!).  The final product will be professionally printed and shared with the community at the end of the school year,

Middle School students who register, commit to all three terms, as well as to participation, attendance, and respectful collaboration, will receive Elective Credit on your transcript.

High School students who register, commit to all three terms, as well as to participation, attendance, and respectful collaboration, will receive full Career & Technical OR Elective Credit based on your need.

If any student would like to join the class in Winter or Spring Term, please reach out to Sieglinde for permission. You’ll be eligible to receive partial credit upon completion.

The Daily Show! (Sieglinde)

Satirical Journalism

Social Studies or Elective Credit

The Daily Show is a long running satirical news show, that is both bitingly funny and on point as it covers important (and not so important) stories in news, politics, and pop culture. We’ll watch the most recent episode(s) together and discuss the top news stories and guest interviews, which range from Ronan Farrow to Ta-Nehisi Coates to Stacy Abrams to Aubrey Plaza.

Student participants can also play and replay most episode’s through any podcast platform.

Elective credit will be offered for all students who participate meaningfully and respectfully. Students who choose to do so, may earn Social Studies credit for this course by writing three drafts of a 5-page research paper on a topic or guest featured in an episode—to be determined by you and the facilitator—and completed by end of the term.
