Instructional Ideas

• Use the worksheet to examine two characters, events, ideas, etc., and spend some time analyzing the relationship between the two

Pros

• See the materials for a Spanish worksheet that is very similar to this one as well as some compare-and-contrast questions that your pupils can use as they work

Cons

• There are no labels on the Venn diagram, so you'll either need to provide some guidance or label the circles together
• Some individuals will need more scaffolding, perhaps in the form of sentence frames, to write the brief paragraph
