I joined the class later than some of the students when I started the first assignment that I worked on was a discussion assignment, was an assignment that we had to do in a group of 3 people. We had to research three different questions, they all focus on media one of the questions that we had to research was about whether or not media is valuable we choose a side and did our research on that. After, when we all had information on the question that was asked we had to do a video of us reading what we had found and we cited our sources at the end of the video.
In class, we took a lot of time discussing why captions are so important and the best way to write them for example we went into the detail of writing a basic caption versus an extended caption. when writing a caption it should also include the 5 W, who, what, when, where, and why it should also include a how. In a caption, there should be an action to lead, basic information, and complementary information. The first sentence should be in the present tense, second and third sentences in the past tense. Words such as several, a lot, some should not be used in a caption. The reason why captions are so important is that they are the most read copy in a publication even though they are short it is important to spend time on them so that you can write a proper caption.
