Description
Have your students demonstrate their understanding of A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry by creatively blending written analysis with visual elements drawn from the text using this one-pager reading comprehension project. Students use details from the play to transform key ideas into meaningful illustrations and written responses.
This drama one-pager activity encourages close reading and critical thinking as students analyze important literary elements such as theme, symbolism, characterization, and author’s message. The format balances creative freedom with intellectual rigor, making it an engaging alternative to traditional literary assessments.
One-pagers invite students to think outside the box while still demonstrating deep comprehension of the text. Completed projects result in thoughtful and creative interpretations of the play and also make beautiful classroom decor and bulletin board displays.
This resource includes
Student directions, a rubric for assessment, an example one pager, ten printable templates (optional), and an editable Word document so teachers can modify the directions or rubric as needed.
