HOW TO WRITE A SOLID CAPTION Good captions don t just tell what s going on in the photo, the act as their own mini-stories.

1. Action sentence: Tells what happens in the photo. *This is present tense, identifies everyone in the photo and tells what they are doing. *This sentence does not begin with a name.

2. Background sentence: Tells info that is not apparent in the photo. *It is written in the past tense and may tell what happened before or after the photo.
