Have your students demonstrate their understanding of any play or musical by creatively blending written analysis with visual elements using this one-pager reading comprehension project. Students draw on details from the performance and/or written text to transform key ideas into meaningful illustrations and written responses.
This drama and musical one-pager activity encourages close viewing, close reading, and critical thinking as students analyze important theatrical and literary elements such as theme, symbolism, characterization, and acting or performance choices. The format balances creative freedom with intellectual rigor, making it an engaging alternative to traditional written assessments.
One-pagers invite students to think outside the box while still demonstrating deep comprehension. Completed projects result in thoughtful and creative interpretations and also make eye-catching 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.
