Description
Have your students demonstrate their understanding of “Annabel Lee” by Edgar Allan Poe by creatively blending written analysis with visual elements drawn from the poem using this one-pager reading comprehension project. Students transform key ideas from the text into meaningful illustrations paired with thoughtful written responses.
This poetry one-pager activity encourages close reading and critical thinking as students analyze literary devices, sound devices, and figurative language, such as imagery, symbolism, repetition, mood, and theme. The format allows students to engage with the poem in a way that is both personal and meaningful while maintaining academic rigor.
One-pagers invite students to think outside the box and provide a creative yet structured way for students to summarize and interpret poetry. Completed projects result in thoughtful, artistic interpretations of the poem and also make beautiful classroom decor and bulletin board displays.
This resource includes
Student directions, a rubric for assessment, an example project, ten printable blank templates (optional), and an editable Word document so teachers can modify the assignment as needed.
