Welcome to Activity Area A! Activity A-1 Remember the important components of a double-bubble map. Your differences should be organized in a point-counterpoint design. For example, if you were contrasting cats and dogs, your first difference might be "barks" for dogs and "meows" for cats. They are a point-counterpoint because you could say, "A dog barks, but a cat meows." It states the difference between the two animal's noises. Additionally, color can be used for purpose in designating different areas of the thinking map. Don't forget that you don't have to have the same number of similarities as differences. If you need a refresher on what the double-bubble map looks like, click here. After you have completed your double-bubble map, write a paragraph of at least 6 sentences comparing and contrasting the two terms.
