It was during this time that she developed a passion for yearbook design. Mrs. Froebe worked with schools in Iowa and Illinois helping to get their school yearbook completed and printed. When approached about an elective class, it was quickly decided that “allowing the students to create their own book, enhance their photography skills, as well as produce a weekly online update on our (WLB) YouTube channel would give students the opportunity to learn many different skill sets.” This class “allows students to enhance their skills in desktop publishing, journalism, photography, broadcasting, and production. With this variety of productions students also learn about time management, understanding the importance of meeting deadlines, and how to better communicate orally and in writing. One of the most important lessons the kids learn daily is how to work in teams.” https://www.youtube.com/channel/ UCsGuqWSR-PdNsUbClqiQ-xw At WLB elective classes allow students to take a break from major subjects and explore some different skills. All of these elective classes tap into reading, writing, listening, and speaking – life skills necessary for success. A variety of students take these different classes with an interest that core classes don’t always provide. Elective classes fill in the gaps that core classes don’t teach. They allow the student to study more about a subject they want to learn more about, discover new things, and gain practical experience that can be used outside the classroom. Elective classes help students prepare for their future education and/ or employment. Yearbook Elective class WLB Froebe
