Yearbook Final Exam

Name:___________________________________________________

Journalism is the discipline of gathering, writing and reporting news, and broadly it includes the process of editing and presenting the news articles. Journalism applies to various media such as magazines, newspapers, radio, television, and web sites.
In journalism, the Five W’s (also known as the Five W’s (and one H) or simply the Six W’s) is a concept in news style, research, and in police investigations that are regarded as basics in information-gathering. It is a formula for getting the “full” story on something. The maxim of the Five W’s (and one H) is that in order for a report to be considered complete it must answer a checklist of six questions, each of which comprises an interrogative word.
The Five W’s + H are who, what, when, where, why and how. A good piece of journalism should contain all of this information.
A yearbook should tell the story of the school year. With all of the above in mind, review a copy of a Hillwood High School yearbook. Write an essay describing whether or not this year’s yearbook represents “good” journalism. Your essay should be similar to the essays you write in English class. Your grade will be determined using the rubric for the TCAP writing assessment.
In your essay, be sure to identify the yearbook by title and date. Refer to at least 3 different pages in this yearbook in your discussion.
