Well I am in a new class in MAT this semester, Literacy in Content area. I have learned a new method that I am excited about, called the SPICE method. We can learn so much by knowing % things about historical events or time periods. S- what is going on Socially. P – what is going on Politically, I- how are people Interacting with the environment, C – what are the people doing Culturally and finally E- what is happening Economically. Try it sometime, be careful not to go down a rabbit hole. I applied it to The JFK assassination. Very interesting.
