AVID ONE-PAGER

Introduction A strategy for responding to a wide variety of learning experiences such as a reading, demonstration, video, field trip, or essential question from a unit of study. A collage combining visual and textual elements that represent the student’s processing and thoughtful response to the learning experience.

Introduction On a single piece of paper, students design an original graphic interpretation of the learning experience, which includes a personal response to the experience as a whole. The response can be a summary, answer to an essential question, or an interpretation. Additionally, the one-pager must include quotes relating to the topic, higher-level questions to provoke further thoughts, essential vocabulary, and a symbolic border that encompasses all components.
