TYPES OF STORIES 7.2
If you have a good story to tell, there’s almost no wrong
way to tell it. A yearbook staff should consider a variety of
formats for their information and quotes. These can range
from a traditional story structure or a popular condensed
copy strategy of quick reads.

Quick reads are growing in popularity with staffs and readers. These alternative story
formats help tell the story in a visual and fun way. They still require research and
interviewing, but involve less writing.
Yearbook staffs, especially clubs and middle schools, looking to streamline the extensive
writing and editing process may choose to incorporate more quick reads into their
publication. Even just using quick reads in one or two sections of the book can lighten
the workload. For example, some books choose to use only quick reads for the copy that
appears in the school portrait section.
