Venn Diagrams: How to Write a Long Description

A Venn Diagram consists of a list of elements interacting with each other to form sets. Your description should trace the diagram in a clockwise direction and list each interaction and the sets created by those interactions.

The description of a Venn Diagram needs to reference the following elements

  • State the number of variables and the labels.
  • Identify the focus or gateway point.
  • Identify the pathway (left to right or clockwise depending on the style of Venn diagram).
  • Reference the labels as you move through the pathway identifying the interactions
