• First sentence describes the action of the photo using the present tense. Name all visible students and what they are DOING
• Second sentence is a quotation from a person in the photo or another key person (teacher, coach, co-captain, etc.)
• Third sentence gives the results of the action and includes details that are meaningful, like the final score or the total attendance at a dance.

At the end of the two days, the club made over $300 which they donated to the Alameda Special Olympics.
