1. One Pager

2. What It Does Connects the verbal with the visual. It connects literature’s thoughts to your thoughts. It appeals to verbal, visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners.

3. Create a Central Image Draw, cut-out, download, or insert a picture to create an image that captures the central meaning for what you’ve read. The image must be the central feature of your One Pager.

4. Brainstorm Brainstorm around the central image (four statements, each three words or less) Ambition Fear Belief in prophesy Self Doubt

5. Citations Cite the two most important passages from the text. Use parenthetical citation (author’s last name page #).  Format for a play: (author’s last name followed by act#. scene#. line#). Example: “Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player/That struts and frets his hour upon the stage/ And then is heard no more. It is a tale/ Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,/ Signifying nothing” (Shakespeare 5.5.27-29). All citations must be at least two sentences long.

6. Ask Questions Ask two thought provoking, open-ended questions. Provide two thought provoking answers. Questions must relate to the image, brainstorm, and citations.

7. Personal Connection Make a personal connection about what you read. No Judgments. Do not state whether or not you liked the story or essay.

8. Impact When a one pager is completed, anyone who looks at it will gain an instant interpretation of how you understood the story.

9. Guidelines Must be Colorful No lined paper Use color pens, pencils, computer clip-art, photos, pictures from magazine, etc. Be thoughtful, creative, even unusual

11. One pagers can take many forms. When being creative, do not limit yourself to the confines on a single sheet of paper. For those who want to be more adventurous, consider creating a One- Pager that is three dimensional or something that is created by using a computer.
