Compare and Contrast: The Venn Diagram
Compare and Contrast: The Venn Diagram
1. Choose a topic. Remember that the goal of your paragraph will be to give a reader a deeper
understanding of the relationship between two things. For example: methods of cooking, types of diets, rural
life vs. suburban life, etc.
2. Generate ideas. Write down as many things as possible that you can think of about your topic. Make two lists,
one of each item that is being compared and/or contrasted.
3. Sort your ideas. Now use a Venn Diagram to sort your ideas into three categories, as shown in the sample
Venn Diagram. Write things that both items have in common in the center of the diagram.
