First I want to say thank you in advance for any and all assistance being offered. I am a first year college student majoring in photography. I have an assignment to submit 5 images using the bracketing settings on my EOS REBEL T100. The current setting is to shoot 3 images, my assignment is asking for 5 images. I have tried to figure it out with no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Does the professor know that the T100 will only take 3 exposures? If so, then s/he is probably giving you a riddle to solve using AEB. You can do it while keeping within the spirit of the exercise by taking two sets. If you are unsure how to do what I am about to explain, please visit page 116 of your T100 users manual.
First, assuming you have exposure set set to your liking (aperture, shutter, ISO), set "Exposure compensation" to 0 (see attached), it should be there by default, but it can be moved as per second bullet in step 2. Now use the main dial to set your dark and bright bracket and take the shot. Please note that to get all of the shots with one press, you will have to use the built in "Self timer", either 2 or 10 seconds, otherwise you will have to press the shutter 3 times.
Now that you have your shots, start the process again, but move your dark and bright adjustment. In my example, I made them lighter and darker, but you can play with that to your liking. Once you have your two sets, delete one of the "0" Expo.comp. images. This will leave you with 5 for your project. You can also make your light/dark settings closer together then move Expo./comp (bright/dark will follow it), but I will let you study on that 🙂
I hope this helps,
Newton

If you MUST use the bracketing tool/mode, then make two captures. I assume that you will be shooting from a tripod. If not, then you should be. You do not want any camera motion or movement between shots.
Newton’s screenshot shows an example with the center point at 0 Ev. I suggest taking one set of exposures at -1 Ev, and then capture another set at +1 Ev.
[EDIT]. Perhaps a better approach is to leave the bracket centered at 0 Ev, as shown in the screenshot. Capture one sample as shown, -1 Ev to +! Ev.
Leave the bracket centered at 0 Ev. Now widen the range to -2 Ev to +2 Ev. Capture another sample. I recommend using the Shutter Delay Timer and a tripod.
