My yearbook bio!

Écrire et réagir à l'écrit : j'écris pour décrire, raconter, rendre compte.

Yearbooks are popular in Britain and Canada too. Students love having a souvenir of their school years. In France, the class photo is another tradition.
Have you ever looked back at your class photos from previous years? How did it feel?
