Avoid football cliches! A team losing a game isn't a "disaster." Or, if it scores two touchdowns and the opponent doesn't come back, say it "never trailed" rather than "never looked back." Skip hackneyed words and phrases, redundancies and exaggerations. #APStyleChat

@YBKJoyce Haha no, it was a staff activity. Cool idea though. I could see doing this with students 😊

@YBKJoyce This is cool for the magazine inspiration they're going for.

[Mrs.Valbuena @MrsVJournalism]

When your editors show you cover inspiration photos that are totally out of the box 😍😍😍. I love that they're pushing themselves to try something new. #AskMIKE @YBKJoyce #socalyearbooks

Did the theme challenge with my students and they crushed it! Not only did they switch their theme to a new/better one, they talked about it so much more confidently and had excitement I hadn't heard before. #ASKMike #socalyearbooks

@YBKJoyce Ha! I love it. Brought the books to school today and showed the editors. They LOVE the It's All Good book.
