Question

What is a One-Pager? It is a single-page response to your reading. It connects the ideas in the book or section of your book, to show your thoughts in a creative way. You will create your One-Pager so that your audience will understand something about the book you read.

What to do:

Write the title of the book, correctly punctuated, along with the author’s name somewhere on the page.

Select two interesting quotations that show the theme of the book. Write them on the page with quotation marks around them. Write these in one color or section; write them down anywhere on your page.

Write two personal statements about what you have read. These are not simple opinions about the content of the material (for example: it was funny or it was boring), but meaningful statements about what you have read. (For example: I could relate to the theme of the book because I have experienced...) Write these in a second color.

Ask three meaningful questions about the theme of the book. (For example: Why do you think that people feel a need to fall in love?). Write these in a third color or section.

Answer your three questions with complete sentences. (For example: Carl refuses Anthony’s friendship because he wants to be independent.) Write these in a fourth color or section.

Write a 5-7 sentence summary, correctly punctuated and complete sentences. Tell us the main things that happened in Part One.

Create your own metaphor for the book.. Remember that a metaphor is comparing two things saying that one thing is something else. ex. The anger was a fire that burned deep inside her soul.

Draw or create two images that represent the information in your reading. It is important that the visuals have a strong connection to the book.

Be creative. Communicate your understanding or interpretation of the reading. Create in a way that your audience will understand something about the literature piece.

Helpful hints:

Don’t simply summarize the book.

Use white computer paper or paper from a sketchpad instead of lined paper, or create it digitally. If you do lined paper, please turn it in by taking a picture.

Use the entire page; make it rich with words and images.

It is better to use colored pencils instead of markers, unless you are a skilled artist, if you are going to do it on paper.

Don’t use yellow ink or markers. It is difficult to read.
