Compare and Contrast Venn Diagram Graphic Organizer

By Homeschool with Big Easy Homeschooling Mom

Graphic organizers can be helpful in being visual aids when students are writing.

  • Helps students focus on their thoughts for planning, decision-making, and writing an essay

  • Helps students see the connections, patterns, and relationships between facts, concepts, and ideas 

  • Organizers provide a visual depiction for writers by showing them where each piece of the essay is placed within an essay

Venn Diagrams show the relationship between two ideas. A venn diagram can have two or more circles. When the circles overlap, the venn diagram shows the similarities between the two or more ideas. In the spaces where the circles do not overlap, it shows the differences between the two or more ideas.

I hope your students/children enjoy this compare & contrast by understanding the importance of why a graphic organizer is needed, as well as understanding the variables of a Venn Diagram.

Venn Diagram Graphic Organizer is in Google Slides, Powerpoint, and PDF formats.

Bubble Map Writing Graphic Organizer

By Homeschool with Big Easy Homeschooling Mom

Graphic organizers can be helpful in being visual aids when students are writing.

  • Helps students focus on their thoughts for planning, decision-making, and writing an essay

  • Helps students see the connections, patterns, and relationships between facts, concepts, and ideas 

  • Organizers provide a visual depiction for writers by showing them where each piece of the essay is placed within an essay

Bubble maps are used to display two different main ideas, their similarities, and their differences.

I hope your students/children enjoy this bubble map by understanding the importance of why a graphic organizer is needed, as well as understanding the variables of a bubble map.

Bubble map is in Google Slides, Powerpoint, and PDF formats.

Happy Writing!
