One-Pager

“The Lottery”

A one-pager is a way of responding to a piece of writing on a single sheet of paper. It represents your
own written and graphic interpretation of what you have read. It may be literal (just based on the facts
and information in the piece), or it may be a symbolic representation of the piece. It helps you as the
reader to visualize what you are reading.
