Refer to the black and white photo on the left and share it with your loved one as the foundation for the story you will create. Take time to look over the photo together, gathering details and building on a narrative for the photo. 

Work with your loved one to write your own personalized creative writing piece based around the subject in the photo. You can help to guide them through building the narrative by asking open-ended questions and writing down their responses to formulate the storyline. Ask thought-provoking questions like:

• Who are these people?
• What are their names?
• What are they doing? 
• Where are they?
• How did they get there? 
• When did this happen?
• What will they do after? 

As the story builds, take time to stop every few questions to re-read what you have written down. Conversations in between might fall off topic, but that is okay! Use this as an opportunity to learn more about your loved one. Empowering the creative center of the brain encourages moments of memory recall as your loved one looks back into the stories of their own past to find details that might match with the new story you are creating together.
