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.

  1. On the left-hand side of the diagram, students list attributes of concept “A” that are not shared by concept “B”.

  2. On the right-hand side of the diagram, students list attributes of concept “B” that are not shared by concept ”A”.

  3. In the overlapping area of the diagram, students list attributes shared by both concepts.

  4. The students share their Venn diagrams, and/or use them in putting the information into paragraph form.
