Venn diagrams can be easily adapted to include
more than two topics and one common area.
Once the students have completed the Venn
diagram, they should discuss and explain what
they have included in the circles and common
area(s). These discussions can be completed in
large or small group discussions.
The middle area where the two circles overlap
can be tricky. Sometimes the students become
confused and continue to put opposites or comparisons
in this space. Using different colored
markers or pencils for each circle and the overlapping
intersection is a simple adaptation that
allows students to see the differences and similarities
in the presented information from the
onset.
