  1. Caption Writing • The most important writing in the book! Puget Sound Slammers’ forward Megan Doherty, sophomore, wins possession of the ball from the Velocity opponent during the first game of the Crossfire Tournament on July 23 in Redmond, Wash. The Slammers won the game 5-0, and eventually took the championship title for the tournament. “It felt good to win after taking second in the last tournament,” Doherty said.” Photo by Fisher

  2. Captions: First Sentence: • First sentence: WWWH’s, strong verb in PRESENT tense. Who, with an identifier (sophomore) Puget Sound Slammers’ forward Megan Doherty, sophomore, wins possession of the ball from the Velocity opponent during the first game of the Crossfire Tournament on July 23in Redmond, Wash. Strong verb, present tense. Tells the What What, When, Where

  3. Captions: Second sentence: • Background information on the photo; strong verb in PAST tense. Strong verbs, past tense. Gives background information. The Slammers won the game 5-0, and eventually took the championship title for the tournament.

  4. Captions: Third sentence: • A no-duh quote from someone in the photo. Quote adds some information about last year’s tournament. “It felt good to win after taking second in the last tournament,” Doherty said. Properly attributed with the word “said,” which is the only word that does not editorialize.

  5. Captions: NO DUH. • Captions should give information that is not already obvious by looking at the photo. A soccer player kicks the ball down the field….. Duh, duh, duh.
