What is it?

A website I use to help students to identify similarities and differences.

What do I use it for?

To get students to compare two concepts, items, or even pictures so they can think critically.

How do I use it?

I use this site for students to work independently, as a think-pair-share, or as a whole group exercise.

*I love to put the diagrams on the board and get a class discussion.  Great for use with interactive white boards, having students come up and type in ideas, or just projecting the site and writing on the white board.

Allows you to create a Venn Diagram and label the parts
