"Right Clicking"

You can "right click" on a Mac with a single button mouse. To do so, you can do either of the following:

1. Press and hold the Control Key while clicking.
2. (This one only works if you have a Mac with a touchpad - usually a laptop) place two fingers on the touchpad while clicking.

Creating A Venn Diagram [Video Tutorial]

Venn Diagrams are part of the strategy of "Identifying Similarities and Differences", pp. 11-13 of Marzano, Robert J.; Gaddy, Barbara B. and Dean, Ceri. What Works In Classroom Instruction. © 2000 McREL. Mid-continent Research for Education and Learning. http://www.mcrel.org/PDF/Instruction/5992TG_What_Works.pdf

This tutorial aids a teacher in the following Math grade level expectations:

0806.2.4 Use a Venn diagram to represent the subsets of the real number system. 

And this tutorial can be used to assist the following Language Arts grade level expectations:

0501.6.2 Recognize the different text features of informational texts (e.g., separate text boxes, diagrams, captions, charts, graphs).

0601.6.10 Comprehend and interpret quantitative, technical, or mathematical information presented in maps, charts, graphs, time lines, tables, and diagrams.

0701.6.10 Comprehend and interpret factual, quantitative, technical, or mathematical information presented in maps, charts, graphs, time lines, tables, and diagrams.

0801.6.12 Comprehend and interpret factual, quantitative, technical, or mathematical information presented in maps, charts, graphs, time lines, tables, and diagrams.

So you've got three sets and you want to express the similarities and differences among each set. It's Venn Diagram time. Below is a video tutorial showing how to use the shape tool to create a circle, set the translucency and the text for such a diagram in ActivInspire.
