You can challenge students’ higher-level thinking skills by taking it one step further by comparing 2 Presidents! One of the best ways to organize information to compare Presidents is to use a Venn Diagram.

Did you know that Venn Diagrams encourage kids to:⁠

🔹Think critically about information?⁠

🔹Organize information visually?⁠

🔹Determine similarities?⁠

🔹Take note of differences?⁠

The best part is you can use them for ANY age or style of learner! The choice is yours--draw pictures, cut and paste facts, use keywords or phrases, or write complete and detailed sentences.⁠

You can download our FREE Venn Diagrams for Presidents Pack and get started today! This set includes several Venn Diagrams geared toward early elementary students as well as an older elementary version.
