This is another creative writing assignment! Yeah! (The picture to the left is just a picture of one of the subjects of the radio program--it is not a prompt!)1) LISTEN HERE to an episode of Radio Lab. It
talks with people who suffer from FACE BLINDNESS. You can listen, download or stream this! Turn up your speakers! Put in your headphones! You must listen to this to do the assignment!
2) Consider FACE BLINDNESS as you write a 1st PERSON 4-paragraph FICTION short story about this situation. It could be you who is suffering from this condition. It could be someone in your family. Or a friend. A neighbor. But it must be 1st PERSON, FICTION and include aspects of what you heard on the radio show. Think of listening to the radio show as research for this story you will write. You have to find out what the condition is before you can write about it. The CONDITION of Face Blindness is real--it exists, but the SITUATION you will create is fictional. Got it? Good!
3) Remember to use vivid adverbs, adjectives and verbs! Describe! Be clear and creative and elaborate! Make it interesting! Use a thesaurus!
