One-Pager

A One-Pager is a creative response to your learning experience. It allows you to respond imaginatively while being
brief and concise in making connections between words and images. We think about what we see and read
differently when we are asked to do something with what we have seen or read. We learn best when we create our
own ideas. Your personal thinking about what you have experienced should be understood by the audience that
views the One-Pager.

Follow this format for a One-Pager.

● Use unlined white paper.
● Title the One-Pager appropriately to reflect the content.
● Use colored pens, pencils, or markers.
● The more visually appealing it is the more your peers will learn.
● Fill the entire page.
● Be purposeful about the arrangement of your One-Pager.
● Use the proper grammatical format.
● Use visual images, either drawn or cut out from magazines, to create a central focus to your page. If
you use a computer image, personalize it to make it your own.
● Put a symbolic colored border around the edges of the page.
● Write your name on the back.
