Description
Have your students demonstrate their understanding of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald by creatively blending written analysis with visual elements drawn from the text using this one-pager reading comprehension project. Students transform key ideas from the novel into meaningful illustrations and written responses that reflect close reading and thoughtful interpretation.
This novel one-pager activity encourages students to analyze important literary elements such as theme, symbolism, characterization, point of view, setting, and significant quotes. The project works especially well as an end-of-novel assessment or creative summary that allows students to synthesize their ideas about the text in a visually engaging format.
Completed projects result in unique and creative analyses of the literature and also make eye-catching bulletin boards and classroom displays that showcase student learning.
This resource includes
Student directions, a holistic rubric for assessment, an example one pager based on The Great Gatsby, ten blank printable templates (optional), and an editable Word document so teachers can modify the assignment as needed.
