Teaching a Venn diagram: The Venn diagram is a wonderful
mind organizer that requires students to analyze two different objects.
It forces the students cognitive level of thought to operate in
a higher domain. This module will make use of this process. Here
are some aids to help teach this skill.
Step
1
Large Group Session
On the board construct two intersecting circles. Label one circle
renewable resources and the other circle non-renewable resources.
Ask the students to brainstorm about renewable resources. Place
appropriate comments in the renewable resource circle. Ask the students
to explain non-renewable resources and record these results in the
other circle. Now discuss how the two terms are similar and record
this information in the intersecting section. Make sure that the
key information you want the students to know is included. If the
discussion fails to generate some critical information then provide
this example for the students.
