Compare+and+Contrast

I have decided to create a short mini-lesson on comparing and contrasting. This mini-lesson would be aimed at K-2. The students would be given two pictures. They would be given approximately five minutes to look at the pictures, guided by the teacher to notice things that were similar about the pictures and things that were different. After the class had been given enough time to look, the worksheet would be handed out to each student. The teacher would explain that this is a Venn Diagram. The teacher would continue on to explain what a Venn Diagram is and what it is used for. After the explanation, the students would be instructed to complete their Venn Diagrams for the pictures they were given. I have included two sets of pictures and two worksheets.

Example One - Cats



Example Two - Flowers
