What is it like living with Dementia or Alzheimer's Disease?
After conducting your own research, answer this question in a short, descriptive story, a power point, or anything in between. Be creative! Start with the powerpoint as a guide and really dig into the details. Use websites, youtube, family experiences, books -- anything you can think of.
Cite your research (just have a references page at the end of your short story if you choose to write the short story).
For instance, I might create a collage or a power point with pictures and real life descriptions of what it is like to live with someone who has Dementia, or maybe I would use the lyrics from the song "Silent House" by the Dixie Chicks (here's a sample:
"And I will try to connect
All the pieces you left
I will carry it on
And let you forget
And I'll remember the years
When your mind was clear
How the laughter and life
Filled up this...Silent House").
