Sept 24 - Photo Caption Work - Formative grade - 9 pts)

Now I want you to write captions for the following pictures.

Study the way captions look in the newspaper.
**A photograph captures a moment in time. Whenever possible, use present tense. This will create a sense of immediacy and impact.
**Always identify the main people in the photograph.
**Avoid making judgments. "An unhappy citizen watches the protest" in a sentence for example. Can you be sure he is unhappy? If you must make a judgment, be sure you seek the truth.
**Subject- Verb- Object. That is the order of your text in a caption. For example, "Senior Billy Smith, left, puts his hat on the school statue." Bill is the subject, puts is the verb, and school statue is the object.
