2. As you read your article, create a "One Pager."

A one pager is a way to visually share key ideas and information from what you have learned. When you create a one pager, you are trying to use both visual symbols and important words to clearly and concisely share your most important takeaways with someone else

One Pagers must include:

1. A border that includes key themes from the reading.

2. The center strip should describe the goal, promise or prediction explored in your article.

3. Pick four items from the list below. Put one in each corner of your 1 pager. On the back of the paper, describe what made you pick the quote, image, question, prediction, or drawing you did in 2 or more thorough sentences.

At least one quote, statistic or detail from the article about what actually happened and why.

A drawing or other visual element that illustrates something important about the “headway” made on this problem.

One word to capture the feeling or emotions that you are left with after reading the article.

One question you still have about promises, predictions and progress.

One quote, statistic or detail from the article about the obstacles or challenges to that original goal.

A prediction about the future of this issue.

3. Make sure you include more images, colors, information and words as needed to help make sense of what you have read for an audience of your classmates. Make sure your one pager is neat and easy to read. You don't have to be the best artist, but you do need to take time with your work.

When you are done, turn it in to the box.
