One-Pager Project – Book Analysis What is it? A one pager is a single-page response to your reading that connects the ideas in the book to your

thoughts creatively. The purpose of the one-pager is so that your audience will understand the big ideas, themes, and

connections within the book.

Directions and what to include in your one-pager: ◻◻ Write the title of the book and author’s name somewhere on the page (this can be done creatively!).

◻◻ Include a border that reflects the unit of learning or theme.

o This can include words, pictures, symbols, or quotes from the text.

◻◻ Create and answer TWO meaningful questions about the novel that show the plot of the story.

o These should not be yes or no questions, but how or why questions.

o Answers should cite text evidence according to the RACE strategy (Restate, Answer, Cite, Explain).

◻◻ Draw or create THREE images that represent themes, characters, conflict, or the setting of the book.

o These should be strongly connected to the book and should stand out.

◻◻ Include 5-8 significant events that occurred during the story on a timeline.

o Include a sent. describing the event and the page number.

o Make sure your events are in order.

◻◻ Write an acrostic poem about a part of the novel. Each letter represents a sentence about the character or

his/her part in the story.

◻◻ Write THREE personal statements or connections about what you’ve read (these are not simple opinions).

o EX: “I could relate to the main character feeling lost in the book because it reminded me of when I got to

high school and didn’t know anyone.

◻◻ Find THREE examples of figurative language (simile, metaphor, hyperbole, alliteration, etc.) and label them along

with the page number.

◻ Include a 5-8 sent. REVIEW of the book.

◻ Be colorful and neat.

o Your entire page should be filled with these elements.

▪ If you find you have extra room, repeat any of the above steps/ elements.

▪ No space should be blank.

▪ Nothing should be left in pencil.

▪ Your name and class period should be on the BACK of the one-pager.

Examples don’t necessarily fit the criteria, but give you an idea of what the end result might look like.
