3. When do you use the Double bubble? • The Double Bubble map is a map that is used for a particular purpose. • Yesterday, you summarized Anthem chapters using a Flow Map • As a Flow Map is used for sequencing or putting things in order from what comes first to the last event, a Double Bubble map is used for comparing and contrasting two different subjects. • Generally, students learn to use a Venn Diagram, but a double bubble map gives us what the Venn Diagram does and then some.

4. First Things first • Unlike Venn Diagrams where you draw the bubbles and then you write the information, when you create a Double Bubble, you must write and then circle the writings to create the bubbles.

5. Comparing • The information that you are comparing is located between the subject bubbles. • Write first and then draw. • Be sure to connect all bubbles with lines.

6. Contrasting Connected lines With contrasts outside

7. Contrasting continued… • When you add the contrasting information, the contrasts go on the outside of the subject bubbles.. • A big difference between Venn Diagrams and Double Bubbles is that Venn’s have outside information in Random Order and the Double Bubble has a point – counterpoint system. • Every contrast on the left must have a contrast directly across from it on the diagram.

9. Finished Product • The space to add information is only limited to the size of the paper, as opposed to the Venn that is limited to the size of the bubbles. • The good thing about a double bubble is that you can add as many comparisons or contrasts as you need.

10. Now you know how to create and utilize a basic double bubble map. Enjoy! The end. And May the Force Be With You.
