Description
Have your students demonstrate their understanding of Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck by creatively blending written analysis with visual elements drawn from the text using this one-pager reading comprehension project. Students use details from the novella to transform key ideas into meaningful illustrations and written responses.
This novella one-pager activity encourages close reading and critical thinking as students analyze theme, symbolism, characterization, point of view, setting, and significant quotes. One-pagers provide an engaging alternative to traditional assessments while still allowing students to clearly demonstrate comprehension and analysis skills.
Completed projects result in thoughtful and creative interpretations of the novella and also make beautiful bulletin boards and classroom displays that showcase student learning.
This resource includes
Student directions for the one-pager project provided in PDF format, a rubric for assessment in PDF format, an example one pager based on Of Mice and Men in PDF format, ten blank printable templates (optional), and an editable Word document containing the directions and rubric so teachers can modify the assignment as needed.
