Description
Have your students demonstrate their understanding of The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho by creatively blending written analysis with visual elements drawn from the text using this one-pager reading comprehension project. Students use evidence from the novel to transform key ideas into meaningful illustrations and written responses.
This novel one-pager activity encourages close reading and critical thinking as students analyze important literary elements such as theme, conflict, symbolism, and characterization. The project works well as a creative addition to a novel study and provides an engaging way for students to synthesize their understanding.
Completed projects result in unique and creative interpretations of the literature and also make eye-catching classroom decor and bulletin board 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 The Alchemist in PDF format, ten blank printable templates (optional), and an editable Word document containing the student directions and rubric so teachers can modify the assignment as needed.
