Double Bubble Map
KEY INFORMATION
• Helps students compare and contrast any ideas, people, cultures, concepts, or things they are studying.
• Because of the depth of thought, students may need to create two Circle Maps, two Bubble Maps, etc. before making the Double Bubble Map.
• Contrasting ideas often requires students to think in terms of point and counter point.
• Do not have to have a contrasting bubble for every idea.
• Can be used in place of the Venn Diagram, especially when focusing on the differences between two things.
Guiding Questions for Constructing a Double Bubble Map:
•What are the similarities and differences between these two things?
•How are these two things alike or different?
•Which similarities do you think are the most important?
•Are there any details that are unique to one thing and not the other?
Guiding Questions for Adding a Frame of Reference:
•How do you know these similarities or differences?
•What source are you using to make these comparisons?
•Is a specific point of view influencing the information you have included in this Double Bubble Map?
•Why are these similarities and differences so important?
GUIDING QUESTIONS
Differences / Similarities Between Thinking Maps and Graphic Organizers?
Pair with someone NOT at your table. Complete a Double Bubble Map. Try to come
up with at least 4 similarities.

The earliest uses of the Double Bubble Map should be withfamiliar objects represented in realia or images. The teacher
provides choices for comparison in the form of words andpictures. As the students place the pictures in the appropriate
spaces, the teacher provides the language of comparison.

Thank you.
With a partner or at your table list three “pairs” of confusing concepts that your students encounter. Create a Double Bubble Map with one of the pairs.

Once students have completed their Double Maps comparingmathematical, or other terms that are often confused, they canpractice writing across the curriculum. The Map serves as aguide for writing and it should be used in a manner that is mostappropriate for the English proficiency level of the studentsinvolved (ex. point/counterpoint or likenesses and uniquenesses)
Math
Used to organize for writing
and across the curriculum
Investigate, compare, and contrast the different life cycles of different living things.
Science
Compare and contrast Mrs. Jones and Roger.
Concentrate on discussing common characteristics that you think the author thinks are important. Be sure to
include important differences as well. Add a
Frame of Reference and cite evidence from the text to
support your conclusions.
Literature
Frame of Reference Application: Big Idea or Summary statement – What I learned from making this map: The basic story and its theme is the same. What changes in the stories has to do with the different cultures.
