Old School Layouts
My Yearbook I class is enormous this year, so I had to resort to an old school method of teaching layout. With limited computer space, I ordered layout sheets from the yearbook company and regressed to teaching basic layout using those. The students didn't know the difference and have had a great time pasting up layouts. This is a wonderful tactile assignment that burns several days of instructional time; however, it allows the students a new experience. You can also introduce the math concepts of measurement with this old fashioned assignment.
