Writing Yearbook Captions the Easy Way

We believe that every single photo in your yearbook deserves a caption. And we also believe that sometimes kids can have a hard time writing those captions so they either don't or they resort to bad humor. This lesson will show them what is acceptable and how to write them easily.

If you are teaching copy or caption writing make sure to download and use our PowerPoints on both topics. Click the PowerPoints link below.
