Captions

There are three types of captions that tell a story about a photo. Review them and look at Mr Bollman's examples.

The Summary Caption: Tells the story of the photo (5W's and H) in a short sentence or two.
Ex: Senior Cheerleader Sue Kubli makes it to the top of the pyramid at the homecoming pep rally.

The Quote Caption: Has a quote from a participate that tells what's going on. Often captures emotion.
Ex: "This stunt was so hard. We worked on it for hours and we nailed it at the pep rally." -Sue Kubli, Senior Cheerleader

Expanded Caption: Combines both types. Tells the story and uses a direct quote.
Ex: The cheerleaders had worked for hours mastering the pyramid stunt, yet still they were nervous come time for the Homecoming Pep Rally. "This stunt was so hard. We worked on it for hours and we nailed it, " exclaimed an excited Sue Kubli (12th).


Write a caption for each of the following photographs. Use one of each of the three types of captions. Look back at your handout from last week if you need help.

Due: Tuesday at the start of Yearbook. We will read them in class.
