Yearbook Theme Ideas

Post your ideas for a yearbook theme here.

Used this way, theme means an idea that is used throughout a book and helps to tie the book together in terms of content and style. For example, a theme can be a phrase like "Reach for the stars" or "Live your dreams", or it can be broad topics like "travel" or "outer space" that you incorporate throughout the book.

Social Studies Current Events

Osama bin Laden, the crisis in Darfur, the war in Iraq, or anything else you are interested in. Keep your comments appropriate for a school discussion and know that I will read what you write. Have a great discussion! Mrs. Keith
