P.E.R.S.I.A.N.
"PERSIAN" is an acronym for Political, Economic, Religious, Social, Intellectual, Artistic and Near. It is a framework for organizing your thinking about history.
• Politics is about power, who uses it to govern (make and enforce rules), how power is used, and the goals one hopes to accomplish by using power. Politics is about public decisions and how those decisions are reached. Public power is usually exercised through governments.
• Economics is about how people use whatever resources they have to produce and distribute goods and services. Economics is about jobs, production, money, and markets. Economics helps us decide how to effectively use scarce resources. Economics is about daily survival; you have to have food and shelter to survive, and that usually takes money.
• Religion is about how people view God, organize to worship and serve God, and how this affects public and private life, especially the moral framework that guides people and society.
• Social is about how people live with other people, what groups (classes, associations, formal or informal) they belong to, the rituals of daily life, the patterns of interaction in a given society.
• Intellectual is about the life of the mind, the way people think about and express their knowledge about the human condition, and seek meaning through the pursuit of knowledge.
• Artistic is about the creative drive in people and the ways they express that creativity through various means (i.e., painting, sculpture, architecture, literature, music, etc.).
• Near is about geography and the importance of the environment.

Important Dates (Updated)
First off, thank you to Becca Addison for introducing me to the hysterical site above (http://www.icanhascheezburger.com/) where I now find my snow day pictures each year.
Well, down to business. I hope everyone has been enjoying their time off. I imagine you've realized by now that we are going to need to do some adjusting to our schedule. Here are a few things I would like you to take note of:
* The Chapter 18 Guided Reading will be collected as soon as we return to school. Who knows what schedule we'll be on when we go back (block or regular), so be prepared and have the assignment reading to turn-in.
* The Chapter 19 and 20 Guided Readings will be due on their previously assigned dates.
* The Unit 3 Study Session will still be on Saturday, January 22nd from 9am until noon and will be in the library.
* The Unit 3 Test will be pushed back until Thursday, January 27th (multiple-choice: all classes) and Friday, January 28th (Document Based Question essay: all classes).
I hope this information helps with your planning. If we are off through Thursday, I'll go ahead and post the chapter 20 guided reading and will reschudule our parent meeting. Enjoy your time off. Get some rest. Have some fun.
