And while this can be an effective method, students need a LOT more of the "We Do" if they are going to use higher level thinking. Scaffold and provide more "We do" opportunities by providing students with completed statements and having students decide where on the Venn Diagram the statements belong. Giving students several opportunities to read and sort statements that had higher level thinking involved will help them see that they should be including thoughtful, deep answers when filling out Venn Diagrams rather than surface level answers.
This does take more preparation, but it is a great way to model high expectations to students. This activity requires students to read two different reading passages about hurricanes, answer compare and contrast questions about the two passages, and then place statements in the correct spot on a Venn Diagram. After students have had plenty of examples, they will still need additional scaffolding in order to provide answers that require higher level thinking.
You can do this by requiring students to provide a similarity or difference about a certain topic. For example, require students to come up with a similarity or difference in the character traits of two of the characters. These cookies will be stored in your browser only with your consent.

Also, it branched out. In addition to being used for philosophy, scholars from other subjects such as math and science began to us them.
Additionally, the officials outside academia have found uses for the Venn. Scientists, businessmen, economists, and politicians have used it to explain or break down complex matters to the public. Even engineers and mechanics have used it to compare parts or list mechanical processes or operations.
Still, it is widely -- and primarily -- used in the classroom. The typical diagram comprises of two or more overlapping circles. Its primary use is to show the differences and similarities of a concept. In many cases, teacher resource books and activity books for children may include these diagrams. Simply put, when a complex concept needs to illustrated, the inclusion of the Venn makes it easier for the reader to comprehend a topic.
The versatility of this tool means that it can be applied to almost any subject. In history, documents -- such as the U. Constitution and the Article of Confederation -- are listed and examined for their similarities and differences.
It can be created on the whiteboard by the teacher and used in interactive lectures in which the teacher asks the students for information on two subjects.
The diagram works in the following fashion: Each circle represents a concept. In the area where the circles overlap — in the center of the area where two or more circles overlap — the similarities are represented. It can be created on the whiteboard by the teacher and used in interactive lectures in which the teacher asks the students for information on two subjects, and then places the information given to him onto the diagram.
Venn Diagram using more than two circles and colors. Creative teachers -- and students -- may take the Venn to whole levels. They may create them from construction paper, paper-plates, or other material and give it an artistic and visually pleasing feel to it. Comparison and contrasts assignments are the not only thing applying the Venn.
A physical tool such as a manipulative can be fashioned into a Venn diagram and used to solve math problems or be used to demonstrate an concept in science. Manipulative are transparent plastic geometric objects often used in math or science.
In the case of science - especially dealing with a lesson in primary and secondary color - red magenta , yellow and blue-colored manipulative can be used by the students to create secondary colors by placing them on a Venn diagram. There, they can see how primary colors create secondary colors by observing the overlapped area.
Its use as a learning tool is that it appeals to visualization. In a time when pictures, concrete examples and mapping are proving to be effective methods of teaching, the Venn diagram helps to show the components of several concepts.
Also, it helps to breakdown lengthy text into chunks that can be organized and easily read and understood. The Venn diagram may be years old.
