Assignment for October 6
You are going to study and create flashcards regarding common yearbook terminology.
Here are the things you need to do:
1. Go to cram.com and sign-up for a free account. You will make flashcards here.
If this site does not seem to work try googling free flashcard creator and see what you will find. I am emailing Mr. Kunzler to make sure the site is unblocked. Maybe try quizlet.com or flashcardmachine.com
2. You are going to visit three sites and get the words for your flashcards. You need to make a flashcard for each term.

Here are 15 terms ALL yearbook staffers should know:
Aren’t you glad we use the yearbook definition?
- Coverage – What you plan to cover in your yearbook (events, topics, people, etc…)
- Theme – The verbal and visual idea that tie this year’s book together
- Endsheet – The paper between the cover and the Title Page (called the endsheet because it’s on the end) and also where your theme elements should appear after the cover
- Title Page – The 1st page of your book, where all the important information goes (see our entry on “T is for Title Page” for more info)
- Section Divider – The “title pages” for every section of your book. Your theme elements should be visible here as well.
- Table of Contents – Most often found on endsheets or opening spreads, tells where to find the divider for each of your sections
- Index – A list of names and organizations and what pages to find them on (and surprisingly, the most popular section of a yearbook)
- Folio – The part of your spread that contains the page number, section, topic, and any accompanying graphics
- Sidebar – Extra coverage on a spread, usually fun stuff (like Q&As, polls, charts, quick quotes, etc…)
- Signature – Every 16 pages of your book is a signature. It’s how the pages are actually printed (before they are folded, sewn, and cut)
- Flat – One side of a signature
- Spread – 2 pages side-by-side in your book
- Gutter – The space in a 2-page spread where the pages are folded and things can get lost
- White Space – The space on a spread where the background can be seen (where there are no photos, copy, or graphics). White space is a design element that should be planned!
- Deadline – In Civil War times, it was the line a prisoner could not cross or they would be shot. In yearbook, it’s when your pages are due to the plant in order for them to print your book in time.
