Read one of the obituaries found on page B4 or B5. Read one of the longer ones. What elements make up an obituary? What kind of information is available. What thing would you expect to read in an obituary that you rarely find in on (see if you can deduce this one on your own)? Did you know that many new reporters first assignments are to write obituaries? What would you think about having to write one of these?
You learn the date that the person was born and when they died. Sometimes they include where they died and who was with them when they died. I would feel extremely sad to have to write an obituary.
