 Kindred One-Pager Brainstorming Checklist
Use this paper as a checklist to make sure you have every element complete.

Required Elements:
❏ The entire page is filled with color, images, or text
❏ Every element is clearly and neatly labeled
❏ My one-pager includes the title and author
❏ All of my quotes are properly cited by providing the page
number.
❏ I included, cited, and thoroughly explained 3 quotes
❏ I included 3 big-picture questions that ask how or why
questions. I thoroughly answered each question with a
detailed answer that includes a quote (introduce, cite,
explain).
❏ I included and labeled three illustrations that connect to the
book.
❏ I included my figurative language, setting, timeline, or song
