One-Pager Project – Novel 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 on 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.
o These should not be yes or no questions, but how or why questions.
o Answers MUST cite textual evidence using proper MLA citation.
◻ Draw or create THREE images that represent themes, characters, conflict, and/or the
setting of the book.
o These should be strongly connected to the book and should stand out.
◻ Include THREE quotes or passages that are important to the understanding of the
novel.
o Include quotation marks and must be properly MLA cited (page number).
o If your passage/ quote is a part of dialogue, include the character’s name
who said it.
◻ Write THREE personal statements or connections about what you’ve read (these are
not simple opinions or book review type statements).
o EX: “I could relate to the main character feeling lost in the book because it
reminded me of when I got to middle school and didn’t know where
everything was.”
◻ 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 full name and class period should be on the one-pager.
