Purpose

• A one-pager is a single-page response to the
  topic.
• It is a way of making your own pattern of your
  unique understanding.
• It is a way to be creative and experimental.
• It is a way to respond imaginatively and
  honestly.

Purpose

• It is a way to be brief and compressed in a world
  drowning in paper.
• A one-pager is a valuable way to own what you
  learn.
• We learn best when we can create our own patterns
