Absolute Monarch Obituaries Assignment
Assignment should be typed or written neatly on loose leaf paper.
Obituaries are notices of death that tell a story about the deceased.
Write as if you are reporting the death to the people of the monarch. You should explain who your
monarch is and his/her importance/impact on the country.
The format should be in the following order:
Announcement
This will list the date, location, and cause of death.
You should look for this on the internet or in an encyclopedia if your textbook does not address dates or
discuss how the monarch died.
Biographical Information
This should describe the person’s life, their accomplishments, events that happened because of their
rule, things that they were known for. Include their religion.
Survivor or Related to Information
Connect any family members you can here. This is the family tree.
Scheduled Ceremonies and Gatherings of Remembrance (creative writing)
Make up a time and location of the funeral/memorial/burial services. The date should match when your
monarch died
Contributions or Flowers (creative writing)
Some families request that contributions be made to a meaningful organization instead of sending
flowers. In the case of your absolute ruler create an organization that your absolute monarch might
support.
