Compare and Contrast Paired Passages Craftivity with a Venn Diagram

Here's a hands-on, creative way for your students to practice comparing and contrasting the content of two reading passages. After reading the two passages about King Louis XVI and King Henry VIII, students write comparison and contrast statements on the castle Venn diagram. The finished products make a unique bulletin board or fun school hallway display!

A writing prompt was recently added to this file. If you want, students can also write an explanatory essay that compares and contrasts the two kings. The essay can be glued to the back of their completed craftivity.

Student-friendly directions are included so that you can place the directions under your document camera, and students can refer to them as they complete the project. An answer key is also included.

Check out the preview!

Here's what teachers like you had to say about using this compare and contrast craftivity with their students:
