Comparison is one of the most basic and powerful forms of analysis in any discipline. For example, in a social studies class, students may compare and contrast the characteristics of one culture with another. This type of analysis helps students better understand the groups being studied, as well as make unifying connections between them.

Depending on the context and complexity of the comparison webs, students may reveal:

The universality of cultures and religions
Why one civilization was able to survive at a specific point in time, while another failed
Why two cultures responded to the same event in different ways
How a culture could embrace two seemingly different religions

Comparison diagrams are easy to create using our built-in templates and activities. An immediate jumpstart into visual learning, these cross-curricular learning exercises help students and educators see how easy and fun organized thinking can be!
