What

The Double Bubble Map is a visual organising tool. It is similar in concept to a Venn Diagram 

The Double Bubble is used to compare and contrast, situations, places, an issues or items and objects.

1. Two bubbles or circles are drawn in the centre of a page. 
2. The two concepts to be compared and contrasted are each placed in one of the bubbles
3. Smaller bubbles are drawn outside of the two larger bubbles. These bubbles show the qualities they share with only one of the larger bubbles. (These are the contrasting aspects or qualities)
4. The bubbles between the two items being compared will hold the items which are similar.

• Mum and Dad
• Day and Night
