Britney, High School English (Christine's Version)

Britney, a high school English teacher, described her first experience with Superstructures as “so simple.” She wanted to engage 30 students while still giving meaningful, individualized feedback on comparing and contrasting characters in a novel. “It took about 2 minutes to create an account and set up a Venn diagram. And within a couple of minutes, all of my students were on—they were all engaging in the prompt, they were all sharing their thoughts.” Students were so enthusiastic that they asked, “Can we do another Soops, please?” Britney noticed that even quieter students were more involved because they could contribute in real time rather than waiting to be called on. She also valued how seamlessly it fit into her teaching, since it is “designed around the conversations that my students and I are already having in our class.”

Britney's classes made Venn structures comparing Miguel and Esperanza (left) and Whitman and Angelou (right).
