Compare & Contrast Castles

The ability to compare and contrast items verbally and in writing is an important skill for all students. I find myself working on this skill a lot, so I tried to come up with a slightly different (and fun) way to target it. 

Compare & Contrast Castles!


The "castles" can be used as an alternative to traditional Venn diagrams. On the left and right sides of the castles, students contrast the items. In the center, students compare the items. Example page is below: 


These are designed to be printed as full sheets to allow room for students to write; however, they can be printed smaller if you plan to verbally compare/contrast the items or want to save paper. 
There are a total of 35 pairs of items, plus a blank page in case you want to create your own!
