For this section create a One-Pager. Follow the instructions below:
•
A one pager is a single-page response to your reading. It is a way of making
your pattern of your unique understanding. It is a way to be creative and
experimental. It is a way to respond imaginatively and honestly. It is a way to
be brief and compressed.
•
The purpose of a one-pager is to own what you are reading. We learn best
when we can create our own patterns.
•
A one-pager connects the verbal and the visual; it connects the ideas in what
you read to your thoughts. It connects words and images. The one-pager
becomes a metaphor for the reading you have done.
•
When you do a one-pager, do all of these:
o Pull out a quotation or two, using them to explore one of your own
ideas, and write them on the page (perhaps using a different colored
pen).
o Use visual images, to create a visual focus.
o Cluster around a dominant impression, feeling or thought you have
while reading.
o Ask a question or two and answer it (them).
o Create the one-pager so that your audience will understand something
about the reading from what you do.
o Feel free to use colored pens or pencils.
•
What not to do:
o Don’t merely summarize.
o Don’t be restricted by the lines on the paper. Use unlined paper.
o Don’t think a half a page will do—make it rich with quotes and images.
o Grading: full credit depends on completeness (and imagination counts,
too.)
