  1. A one-pager is a single-page CREATIVE and ARTISTIC response to your reading. It is a way of illustrating your unique understanding. It is a way to be creative and experimental. It is a way to respond imaginatively and honestly. It is a way to share something insightful about the story without writing a long, boring essay.
  1. The purpose of a one-pager is to own what you are reading. We learn best when we can create our own patterns, so although you will find a list of things that you can do below, feel free to think outside the box and include elements that are not on the “list.”
  1. A one-pager connects the verbal and the visual; it connects the ideas in what you read to your thoughts. It connects words and images. The one-pager becomes a metaphor for your reading and understanding.
  1. Your one-pager should COMPLETELY FILL one side of a poster (11x14 or larger).
What you MUST include:
  • Title related to your research
  • A statement about your research to hook your reader
  • Several significant quotes and details about your topic based on your research
  • Visual images, either drawn or cut from magazines, that relate to the theme
What you MAY include:
  • Abstract shapes or images to represent the various characters
  • Symbols that represent your research
  • Other quotations that reveal important information about the topic
  • A dominant impression or feeling you had while reading
What not to do:
  • Don’t merely summarize. Don’t write an essay.
  • Don’t be restricted by the lines on the paper. Use unlined plain or colored paper.
  • Don’t think a half a page will do—make it rich with quotes and images.
Rubric:
  • Neatness, color, use of space, organization, design, effort, creativity (20 points)
  • Creative title and your name (10 points)
  • Interesting Hook (10 points)
  • Documented quotes and details, 10 minimum (40 points)
