Coverage ~ Clubs & Organizations Organizations ~ Planning for great coverage First Steps… 1)Speak to your school’s Activities Director to get a complete list existing clubs. 2)Review the list and add any additional clubs/organizations/extracurriculars that your staff can think of. 3)Decide where group activities coverage will appear in your book; decide where group shots will appear – (on the spread, index, separate team/group shot section?) 4)Create “Yearbook Beats”: Divide the clubs among the yearbook staff members and make them responsible to know all the ins and outs (adviser, meeting times, members, events, etc.) of the clubs on their “Beat.”
