The Wonder of the One Pager Examples from the 2017-18 APHG Class L. V. Berkner High School Richardson, Texas

Uses of the One Pager Reviewing any concept or unit Presenting any information Concise Easy to assess Share as Gallery Walk or Pair-Share Excellent window into the student’s mind

How to’s… Begin with the border (vocabulary or small pictures) Add the unit number and title Draw two pictures (models, concepts, etc.) Create a word chain around each picture describing the picture Write a poem or include an acrostic from the unit Create two questions with their answers Describe a connection to the real world Add color for interest

Instructions & Rubric I have found that it works best to only give my students the instruction page. Otherwise, they will use the rubric as a checklist and they will not read the instructions.

Challenge your students …they will surprise you. For Unit 5, I required the poem/acrostic to be about the von Thünen Model. For Unit 6, I had the students compare either two geographers or two models. For Unit 7, I had the students draw one of the urban models. Their description was to explain the model’s design; why it was drawn the way it was.

Unit 2 was our first attempt
