Please note: The 5th Grade Summer Reading assignment below is due the first week of school.
Summer Reading Project
One-Pager
Task: In order to demonstrate comprehension of your summer reading, you will create a one-pager. A “one-pager” is designed to promote thoughtful understanding of a novel. The more creative you allow yourself to be, the more you will get out of this assignment. One-pagers, when done well, also provide a terrific review that can inspire others to read your book.
Please pick a book to read from this list: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/22565.5th_Grade_Reading_List
*Please use a piece of white computer paper*
The FRONT of your one-pager must include:
❖ Title of novel and author’s name displayed creatively (it should stand out) ❖ A border that reflects something significant about the novel (the theme, character traits, symbols, the setting, etc.)
❖ 2 important quotations
➢ Include a citation for each (author’s last name pg. number)
■ Ex: “Jem suddenly grinned at him” (Lee 30)
➢ If your passage is part of dialogue, include the character’s name who said it ■ Ex: “‘Thank you, darlings’”- Miss Caroline (Lee 37)
➢ A response to each quotation explaining why it is significant- a few sentences ❖ At least 3 hand drawn images that represent themes, conflicts, symbols, settings, or characters in the book
❖ A 5-7 sentence personal response to the text - draw a connection, make an interpretation, or write a thoughtful review – this is NOT a summary
The BACK of your one-pager must include:
❖ A one paragraph summary of the text that includes details about the plot, setting, characters, problem(s), and ending
❖ Your name and homeroom
Things to Remember:
❖ Images and writing should cover the ENTIRE PAGE. Very little background area should be visible
❖ Use unlined, white, 8 ½ x 11 paper (computer paper)
❖ Your name and class period go on the BACK
❖ Be purposeful about the arrangement of your one-pager. For example, have a reason for using a certain color ( write a character’s dialogue in green because green is that character’s favorite color, for example) or placing an illustration in a certain place.
