The Origins of Man - SPRITE

SPRITE:
Socio-cultural
Political
Religious
Ideological
Technological
Economic

I introduced the SPRITE categorizing technique to help you organize & study terms/concepts learned in class.

Is this a helpful strategy, one that you will use throughout our class and in others? And... what other categories would you add and why?

Example - G-SPRITE (Geography - to explore how people/ concepts are shaped by their physical environment)

well the SPRITE theme is a big help,and i think every body will use it to the best of ther ability.Also i dont think i would add any thing to it because its all ready fine and i think it would cause a problum.

this SPRITE is a real good way to try and help you remeber.The reason why i think it is a good way is because if you have diffrent types of words for it then you can really get a hold of it.

Yes, I think this is a good helpful strategy that you created. I think that throughout the year I will use the SPRITE idea in this class for sure and maybe in other classes also. I think this is a good idea because you can use the words for any and almost everything and that would be a great way to remember vocabulary terms. If I was going to add another category , for example I would put B-SPRITE which stands for BIOLOGY-SPRITE, and anything dealing with BIOLOGY I would maybe use for the SPRITE like many vocabulary words.

Yes i do think that the sprite starategy is very helpful . I never knew that it existed. This was my first time learning about it it is very helful. Instead of saying all the word for example s social i idealogical you can just easily abbreviate it to make it a liitle better to understand. It pertains to all of our concepts regarding world geography.

Yes this is a helpful way because this my first time every hearing this.I didn't know what it was when i saw it. I would add C-SPRITE(Civilization-A group of people with a high level of culture,industry etc.

Yes the S.P.R.I.T.E. Chart is helpful in your class only not in others because I doubt I would use it in Biology or Geometry lol but I would add S.P.R.I.T.E.S. I added the extra S because it stands for Statistics. That can also effect the P,S,T, and E and G-S.P.R.I.T.E doesn't even make since thats something only you would say . . . . . . Im Just Saying

@Mrs B-E G-S.P.R.I.T.E is something someone ghetto would say, but I have to say it does make since for you being a Global Studies teacher and all.
