Making Comparisons with a Venn Diagram: Bessie Coleman and Mae Jemison

Children practice comparing two people using a Venn diagram with this two-page biography worksheet. Students read short biographies of pilot Bessie Coleman and astronaut Mae Jemison, each a pioneer in her field. They then practice using a Venn diagram to compare the lives and accomplishments of each woman. Designed for fourth and fifth graders, this worksheet supports students as they learn to compare and contrast information and interpret nonfiction texts.
