Venn diagrams are a great way to compare and contrast different historical figures. They allow students to group things in multiple ways, think critically, and see how almost everyone has something in common with someone else. In this activity, students learn about the life and accomplishments of Cesar Chavez and Thurgood Marshall. They’ll compare and contrast their childhood experiences, work, and impact on American society.
