Goals for today 

Constructing a one pager for a short story by Mansfield or Chekhov 

Sharing your work and your ideas 

Discussing similarities and differences 

What is a "One Pager"

A single page that combines your personal response, analysis, and creativity to show everything you understand about a text.

1. One side of A4 paper only
   
2. Must include both written and visual elements
   
3. No large empty spaces: the whole page should feel rich and full
   
4. Your name and the short story's title must appear somewhere on the page

A one pager shows 

1. Accurate understanding of the events in the short story. 
   
2. Analysis of key language, literary techniques, and narrative choices.
   
3. Reflection on the chapter’s central ideas 
   


4. This is not a summary sheet. It is a visual-literary analysis presented on one page.
   

Goals for today 

Sharing your work and your ideas 

Discussing similarities and differences 

Considering the influence of Chekhov on Mansfield's work 

Required elements for your one pager 

1. Short story title  and one sentence that captures the overview, central theme or topic of the story 
   
2. Include at least three meaningful visual elements that connect directly to the story. (Tip: think about significant symbols in this story)
   
3. Each image must include a short, written explanation (2–3 sentences) explaining its symbolic significance.
   
4. Identify & write down at least three significant quotes. Write a short analysis identifying the technique(s) in the quote and the effect on the reader.
   
5. Include a short personal reflection (6 – 8 sentences) on the topics of child neglect and exhaustion. 
   

Rate the word 1 to 4

1. I do not know the word, and I have never seen it before. 

2. I've heard or seen the word before, but I'm not sure what it means. 

3. I know the word and can recognise and understand it while reading, but I probably wouldn't feel comfortable using it in writing or speech. 

4. I know the word well and can use it correctly in writing or speech.

2. Look at the stylistic conventions that we noted of Mansfield's work. What are the differences and similarities? 

3. Discuss these in one or two paragraphs, giving examples to support your ideas. Write or put an image of your paragraphs in your Teams class notebook.
