Double Bubble Map Template

Created by

My school was required to use thinking maps this year, so we transitioned from Venn Diagrams to Double Bubble Maps. This is just an easy template to use to compare and contrast anything in any subject. This will help make sure the little ones have a neat map rather than having them try to draw their own! Enjoy! :)

Levels of Government Organizer - Local, State, Federal - 3rd grade

Created by

Mika Damron

This a graphic organizer I created when I taught the three levels of government: local, state, and federal. I has an image of Texas for the state level, but you could alter it for any state. There are spaces for students to record the name of each level, it's leaders, officials, and services each level of government provides. I teach third grade, but you could use this in 2nd, 4th, or 5th grades. Enjoy!
