In this video I talk about how to teach students in AP history classes how to analyze documents using the SPY method. It works for interpretation, supporting an argument, and document sourcing.
I’ve been hammering SPY all year. For the “Y” I tell students that the main two ways to explain “Y” the document is written is to explain with historical context or perspective.
The example I try to use for historical context is if there’s a picture of someone in a mask in 2020. The historical context is how the Covid-19 pandemic would essentially cause people to wear masks. Covid is the historical context. Perspective basically covers audience/purpose/point of view. I have a lot of bell works I posted last summer on the Facebook pages with docs, prompts, and sourcing with the SPY method. The issue I’m coming across is students just skipping sourcing all together-which is frustrating because I think this method is much easier than HIPP before.
That’s brilliant… and yes, I notice a lot of skipping too 🤷🏻♂️

My WHAP colleague and I have been talking about transitioning to SPY fully next year... this just confirms it :)
Maybe I missed it, but how would I use the prompt part of spy, if I am just giving a basic document to look at, for example the picture of the Tenement by Jacob Riis, the picture that we probably all use of the 6-7 guys crowded in the one room
@@mrhsesports5151 I get that, but what if I am just want them to practice looking at a document that has no prompt?
Hi heilmer
I’m not a teacher. I’m a high school student who is thinking about becoming a teacher. Would you recommend becoming a high school teacher, in 2023? I’ve heard mixed things about teaching, I hear you get bad pay and have to deal with rowdy kids/kids that don’t want to be there. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Not Heimler, but I’ve been teaching for 27 years. If you feel passionately about teaching, give it a try. Got your feet wet by subbing. If you can handle subbing, you’ll probably be okay. Teaching isn’t for everyone and those who find it wasn’t their passion are the loudest nay-sayers. It is hard, but it’s the best job in the world. Good Luck to you!!
(Already talking with lightning speed): "For this next one I'm going to speed up".....!
Seriously, good stuff. Giggled at "HAPPY analysis? More like Crappy analysis"
Ha, thanks. I laughed at that part myself…
My teacher never taught me this
