Then and Now Venn Diagram

I read the book Pilgrims of Plymouth this week and used a Venn Diagram to help students make comparisons between the Pilgrims then and us now. To save time, I typed up all of the ideas from the book in advance. I had students recall what we had read in the text and the information we discussed. As they named the different ideas, I pulled them from my pile and had them glue them where they went on the Venn. If anyone gave an idea that did not come from the text, then I referred them back to the text and we checked to see if it was there. I tried to keep our discussion text focused. Any ideas that they were unable to think of on their own, even with guided discussion, we did not use.
