Talk to teachers and students and think about any large activity that involved a large number of students, such as a homecoming dance. You want to have as many students as possible to connect with the story so it should be an activity they're familiar with.
Outline your story idea in a notebook. You should have three sections in your story: the opening, the middle and the ending. Each section of the story will have its own characteristics. Your opening will present what the story is about, who was involved, where it took place and why it came about. Your middle section will be a time line of events, including as many people as possible to engage as many readers as possible. The ending will summarize the story and present some concluding thoughts.
Write a rough draft of your story. It's important to get the story down on paper. Worry about edits and grammar in subsequent drafts.
Revise your story. Read it through thoroughly, checking for grammar mistakes and opportunities to make it better with specifics and character or place details. Have friends and family read through it and make suggestions.
Print a polished draft of the story. This is the last chance to check for any last-minute errors that crept into the story. Read through it one last time very slowly.
Submit your yearbook story to the yearbook staff.
