Free Study Skill Graphic Organizer: Compare and Contrast Concepts

SELLER
This very simple, one-page graphic organizer has become one of the best study and review techniques that I use in my biology classes. It forces students to think deeply about two topics or concepts as they search to find the similarities and differences between them. Students are better able to organize information to see the relationships between two concepts.
I use this graphic organize to have students compare and contrast:
1. Photosynthesis and respiration
2. Mitosis and Meiosis
3. Protostomes and deuterostomes
4. Vascular plants and nonvascular plants
5. Prokaryotes and eukaryotes
6. Various animal phyla
7. Systems of the body
I keep a stack of these copied and ready to pass out to my students, and use them whenever a suitable opportunity arises.
This document is suitable for all subject areas and can be used by students in grades 4 and higher.

Thank you for a linear "venn diagram." I like how simple it is. And I really appreciate including a science example. I'm new to teaching that concept this year and wouldn't know all of the differences.

I can definitely see the versatility of this resource. As a high school English teacher, I could use this to compare/contrast characters, inner/outer conflicts, etc, but more interestingly, I could use it for comparing the difference between topics and themes; facts and opinions. Great!

Amy, olyMoly....i just realized i was not following you and now i made your # 666!!!! oopsie... hope you aren't superstitious. Anyway, this is perfect! An organizer invaluable to my collection of tools for my kiddos. It's so versatile!!! And it's a different layout--many of my students come to me STUCK on the fact that compare/contrast has to be done w/ a Venn diagram... ;) Thanks dear!!
