We created this activity to be a center for older students. Once students are familiar with how to compare and contrast two items, you can use this as independent center work. We have created 16 cards that can be used to provide topics. Laminate these cards and cut apart, place in a basket. Students choose a topic card and complete a Venn Diagram comparing and contrasting the items. You can have students write a paragraph using their graphic organizer on the provided lined paper if desired. Compare & Contrast Center
