Venn diagram organizers are especially useful in creating vocabulary categories that share certain characteristics.
Venn Diagrams for Vocabulary

After that, they break out characteristics, actions, etc. into each category. Vocabulary that is not common to each subject should be placed in the outline area, while vocabulary that is shared by each each subject should be placed in the middle.
