To create a Venn diagram for your lesson plan, first open the template manager by clicking
More Templates here in the template banner.
Select Education and then find the Venn Diagram templates.
Just click on the template you need.
Now you just need to edit the file to suit your project.
You can add a name and date field by double clicking anywhere on the screen.
First, I’ll make the text box bigger and I’ll change the font size to 14 here in
the properties bar.
After I’m finished I can hold down the ALT key while clicking and dragging out from this
shape to create an identical copy of it.
Then I change just change Name to Date.
Now I can click on the text in this shape, change the font size, resize the text box,
and move the text box on the shape.
You can add the subjects if you like or leave the placeholder text if you plan to use this
activity more than once.
If you plan to just print the activity, you can delete the text boxes.
Next, I can ALT drag this extra text box over into my original shape as well.
I can also change the size and color of the shapes if I need to.
Finally, you can even lock down the shapes if you would like to protect them.
Just select the shapes you’d like to lock and then click the Lock option here in the
Properties bar.
Your changes are saved automatically, so when you’re done you can go to File and print
this activity OR go back to the documents page and make it a shared template that you
can share with your students.
Students, to complete this assignment in Lucidchart, just open a new document from the template
your teacher shared with you.
Drag out a text box from here in the toolbar, then edit the text with your name.
Then hold down the ALT key and drag out to copy your text box, drop it here over date
and edit the date.
Now you can click on the subject text here and add your subjects to each shape.
In this example, we’ll use Frogs and Toads.
Continue the activity by clicking the text here under the first shape, you can add any
items that apply to ONLY the category your teacher listed.
In this example, I’ll say Frogs live on land, have slimy skin, and have long back
legs.
Then click the text in the other shape and list items that apply to this category.
In this example, I’ll say Toads live on land, have bumpy skin, and have short back
legs.
Next, click the text that’s shared by each shape, here you can list items that each of
the categories share.
In this example, I’ll say that both frogs and toads are amphibians, lay eggs, and eat
bugs!
Finally, when you’re ready to turn in your assignment, just click the Share button in
the top right hand corner of the screen, you’ll need to name your assignment if you haven’t
already, after you name your assignment, click Save.
Now enter your teacher’s email address and then click Done.
Your teacher will now receive an email letting them know your Venn Diagram is ready to grade.
Congratulations!
Your assignment is complete!
