    Captions or cutlines serve to explain or provide context for photographs by describing the photo, the process occurring in it, and key details like participants, location, and time. Effective captions use complete grammatical sentences, most often in the simple present or past tense, and include prepositional phrases about relevant circumstances. To teach captions, the document recommends that teachers provide examples, elicit student analysis of sample captions, and have students both discuss captions and write their own to describe pictures.
