Choice Book One-Pager: Own What You Are Reading. We Learn Best When We Are Able To Create Our Own Patterns!
Summative Assessment
A One-Pager is a single-page response that shows your understanding of a piece of text you have
read, be it a poem, novel, chapter of a book, or any other literature. It is a way of making
representation of your individual, unique understanding. It is a way to be creative and experimental;
it is a way to respond to your reading imaginatively and honestly. The purpose of a One-Pager is to
own what you are reading. We learn best when we are able to create our own patterns!
The Rules:
★ Use your choice book to complete this assessment.
★ Use unlined white paper, and put all work on ONE side of the page.
★ Put your name and class period on the BACK of the page.
★ Use colored pens, pencils, markers, and/or crayons.
★ Title the One-Pager appropriately to reflect the content.
★ Fill the entire page.
★ Be purposeful about the arrangement of your One-Pager. For example, have a reason for using
a certain color or for placing an object in a certain place (this is part of your grade).
What to Do: be sure to follow these guidelines!
❏ Use visual images to create a central focus to your page. If you use a computer image,
personalize it to make it your own (computer images will need to be printed at home or in the
library on your own time. Make sure to use a color printer).
❏ Place five words/phrases around the images that express the main ideas and author’s tone.
❏ Put a symbolic colored border around the edges of the page.
❏ Identify the following elements of the book:
❏ Speaker or narrator
❏ Author’s intended audience - you may need to do some research
❏ Author’s purpose or theme
❏ Context (what was going on in the world as it relates to the book and time period in
which it was written?) - you may need to do some research
❏ Write three (3) quotations from throughout the entire book that convey the author’s
purpose/theme and cite them (Author’s last name and page number).
❏ Write three (3) new, unique, or important vocabulary words that stood out while reading with
definitions AND create/draw a symbol or picture for each.
❏ Declare a controversial issue or taboo topic addressed in the book and explain.
❏ Written on the BACK, include an explanation of the colors/images you used.
You will have three (3) class days to complete this assignment so it should represent your best
effort. Do not think half a page will do. Make your page rich with “quotes,” analysis, and images.
