Print-Video Venn Diagram

How do I use it?

• Provide students with the given text. Each student should make note of important aspects of the text (e.g., using a highlighter, underlining, making point form notes, etc.).
• Have students watch the video. Ensure that students have a place to record point form notes during the video (e.g., in a notebook).

• Provide students with a Print-Video Venn Diagram template (see image at right). On the left side, have the students record information unique to the text, on the right side record information unique to the video, and in the centre, record information common to both the text and the video.

Variations

• Watch the video a second time and have students switch roles to validate information and to add new information.
• If a video does not have text, have students work in pairs with one student focusing on the images and the other focusing on the audio.

Extensions

• Provide student with a set of focusing questions so that they know what they are looking/listening for in the video.
