• Step 3: The Venn Diagram
  • If you want to compare ideas to see what they have in common, the Venn diagram is excellent.
  • Start by drawing two large circles on a page. Put one on the left and one on the right. Make sure they overlap so there is space in the center where you can write.
  • Write one fact in the left circle. For instance: "The first creature in space was a dog sent up by the Russians in 1957."
  • Put a second fact in the right circle. Such as: "The United States sent a chimpanzee into outer space in 1961.
  • What do the two facts have in common? Write this in the center area. Example: "Scientists first tested an animal before sending a person into space.
  • Spacedog: You can combine this method with other methods when taking notes.
  • Go to a blank Venn diagram page that you can print.
