Yearbook Journalism Caption Writing Tips, Assignment, and Peer Editing Activity

This yearbook journalism pack teaches students how to write captions that don't simply describe the picture, but take a deeper look into what story can be told through it.

This lesson pack provides examples through handouts for your yearbook staff members to reference while writing captions for their deadline assignments. In addition to the handouts on caption writing, grammar, and spelling, there is also a lesson plan for how to introduce and grade a caption assignment in class.

Along with the assignment and handouts, there is also a rubric for teacher grading and an adapted one for peer editing. Peer editing is a huge part of creating a successful yearbook. Help walk your students through the process with this activity.

All in all this bundle includes:

➢Lesson plan (each lesson plan includes a big idea, essential questions, objectives, art standards, writing and literacy standards, supply list, vocabulary list, and a step by step breakdown on how to present this assignment.)

➢Caption writing tips handout (back and front)

➢Grammar refresher handout

➢Common spelling errors handout

➢Peer editing rubric

➢Grading rubric
