Venn Diagrams
This strategy will help students to compare and contrast information attained from a text or unit of study through the use of a graphic aid.
- The students write the attributes of one concept in the left-hand side of the circle that which only it possesses.
- The students write the attributes of the other concept being looked at in the right-hand side of the second circle those characteristics only it possesses.
- The students write those attributes shared by both concepts in the middle area where the two circles overlap. These should be the characteristics that are shared by both concepts.
- The students share their venn diagrams, and/or use them in putting the information into paragraph form.
