Venn it out
After reading, kids compare two characters, two events or two articles on a Venn diagram, using a quote for each point. Then they turn the diagram into a short paragraph. The diagram keeps their thinking organized and the quotes keep it honest.
Why it works: pairing a picture with each word gives kids two ways to remember it, a well-tested principle of how people learn (Mayer, 2009).
