A detailed guide and writing frame to help students to explore any character in detail by writing their obituary. This would work for any character in any text.

The resource includes details about:

  • the language and structure of an obituary
  • a research task where students identify typical features from a newspaper
  • some key words and phrases.

The research task would work best alongside a range of obituaries of people who would appeal to students.

A writing scaffold is included to support students in their written piece.
