Lesson 2: **__Theme Development__**

For this Lesson you will create a WebQuest to further your understanding of Theme Development: Read the following WebQuest Information and complete all activities. You will have 1 week to complete the Web Quest

__**Introduction:**__
What makes your school year special? What events and activities set this year apart from others? Capturing the feeling of a particular school year is a challenge and you have been selected to meet that challenge!! A yearbook theme can sum up all those great memories and help students re-live the school atmosphere for many years to come. Let's learn more about themes and how they can guide our yearbook into a great "memory book"

**__Task:__**
In this webquest you will research, identify, and create a theme based project. You will: 1) search the Internet for different theme ideas and a clear definition. 2) Use the information above to create a list of 5 themes you think might fit our school and this year in particular 3) Discuss with your classmates about good theme Ideas 4) Narrow your theme to 1 and create a mini yearbook that will show how you can implement that theme into the yearbook page. ===**__Links: [|Yearbook Themes A] [|High School Yearbook Themes] [|How to pick a theme] [|Yearbook Themes B] [|Jostens Theme Ideas] [|Herff Jones Theme Ideas] [|Yearbook Theme Ideas]__**===

**__Process:__**
1) Use the Internet links above to search yearbook theme ideas and definitions - text the definition to me 2) Choose 5 themes and tell how each theme fits this school and this year in particular - post this information under theme discussions. 3) After all themes have been posted, pick 2 theme ideas your classmates have posted and discuss what you like about them - this should go at the bottom of the theme discussion page. 4) Now, it is your turn to become a graphic design specialist. Using the information you have gathered - pick 1 of your 5 themes and develop a "mini yearbook" that will depict how your theme can be implemented through the yearbook. Examples will be shown in face-to-face meetings. You can use any graphic design program to complete the project - Publisher, Photoshop, Illustrator, Word, etc. Refer to evaluation rubric to know what to include.
