Writing Obituaries for the Personalities of the 1920s
This is a test grade. This assignment is to be completed outside of class. It is due to me at the beginning of class on Thursday, December 1st . This is an individual assignment. An obituary is published in the newspaper after someone has died highlighting major facts about their life. For your assignment you will write TWO obituaries about assigned people from the 1920s. For EACH obituary you must complete the following: Assign the person a title that has five or fewer words that identifies immediately what they are famous for (keep it clean and happy) In the actual obituary include the person’s birth and death dates and why they are important to history – tell me what impact they made and where. What would that person have wanted to be remembered for? What would they claim is their contribution or legacy? Each obituary will be written on a piece of paper cut into a shape that identifies their accomplishment (like a baseball bat for Ruth). Try to be original about the shape you choose. This needs to be done on different color construction paper or on white paper and colored. Neatness and effort counts. I expect each obituary to be 7-10 sentences long. Make sure you are thorough. If that person had more than one contribution, than you need to include that. Do not just cut and paste from the internet! Create your own obituary from your research. Keep the format required in mind. No one should have the same obituary and any that are deemed similar will all receive zeros.
