The document provides instructions for students to create a "Me" spread for a yearbook. It involves brainstorming answers to 9 questions about themselves, mapping out coverage areas to explore in more depth, designing the spread, prioritizing important elements, and planning how to tell their personal story visually and verbally through photos and text on the yearbook page. Examples of other students' "Me" spreads are also included for inspiration.
