A student created a one-page representation of the story The Lost Thing, including a synopsis and personal meaning, and explained the process and decisions.
In an English class, students developed ‘one-pagers’ to communicate their understanding of a short story. They were required to include a summary, a question and answer, a quotation and analysis, a symbol and analysis, a title with thematic significance and their opinion. Afterwards, students reflected on the process (e.g., why they chose the layout, the significance of each component and how this assignment assisted in demonstrating their comprehension and thinking).
The images and texts that students produced became new representations of their thinking.
I can gather and combine new evidence with what I already know to develop reasoned conclusions, judgments, or plans.
I can use what I know and observe to identify problems and ask questions. I can explore and engage with materials and sources. I can consider more than one way to proceed and make choices based on my reasoning and what I am trying to do. I can develop or adapt criteria, check information, assess my thinking, and develop reasoned conclusions, judgments, or plans.
