• The two items being compared are placed in the
  top two boxes
• Students brainstorm what they know about each
  topic in each box
• The information is then organised by placing the
  similarities of both topics in the overlapping
  box and what is discrete to each topic in the
  outer boxes
• After the information is organised students write
