Superstructures is an online platform offering AI-infused, whole-class thinking routines designed to foster collaborative discussion and deepen student reasoning. Teachers pick a "structure" tailored to a thinking skill or academic standard, launch it, and let students contribute in real time while an AI assistant (Soop) helps guide the flow. The tool supports any subject and helps energize lesson hooks, formative assessments, or practice blocks. It also gives teachers real-time insights into student responses to inform discussion.
tag(s): artificial intelligence (273), collaboration (110), graphic organizers (55), mind map (32), teaching strategies (66)
In the Classroom
Start a new unit by launching a "See, Think, Wonder" Superstructure using an image, short video clip, or text excerpt. Have students post their observations and inferences live, then discuss patterns that emerge. Create a discussion Superstructure in which each student must respond to a prompt from a rotating viewpoint (e.g., character perspectives in a novel, perspectives on a historical issue). The AI assistant helps keep the debate balanced and on topic. Have students connect new vocabulary terms in a concept-mapping activity, using examples, synonyms, and visuals to deepen understanding.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

This worksheet is useful for teaching students how to plan, stay focused, and work toward their goals in an organized way.

Partners can give friendly feedback by checking if the goals are specific, measurable, and realistic. Create a "Goal Wall" where students post their goals (or just the focus area, like "Reading" or "Organization"). Update the wall as students reach milestones to celebrate effort and growth.
