Description
Have your students demonstrate their understanding of The City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau by creatively blending written analysis with visual elements drawn from the text using this one-pager reading comprehension project. One-pagers provide a creative and engaging way for students to synthesize their learning at the end of a novel study.
This novel one-pager activity encourages close reading and critical thinking as students analyze important literary elements such as theme, symbolism, conflict, and author’s message. The format allows students to present their ideas visually while still demonstrating strong comprehension and analytical skills.
Completed projects result in thoughtful and creative interpretations of the novel and also make eye-catching classroom displays and bulletin boards that showcase student learning.
This resource includes
Student directions, a rubric for assessment, an example project, ten blank printable templates (optional), and an editable Word document so teachers can modify the assignment as needed.
