Leading Ideas and Biblical Principles

[list type=”arrow”]

History is HIS Story – God’s story of love, mercy, and redemption through Christ.
- He made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ. — Ephesians 1‍:‍9-10
Godly leadership and servanthood are necessary for one to be a true reforming influence.
- Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave—just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many..- Matthew 20:26 – 28

Literature and Composition Assignments

Read Chapters 6 – 10 in Sign of the Beaver.
Now that you have completed your note cards, you will organize them into an outline.

An outline is a tool used by writers to organize their thoughts and order events, and it will help you stay focused when you begin actually writing your research book. It consists of main ideas and subtopics, and uses Roman numerals, letters and numbers to help create order.

For our outline, we will use phrases, or groups of words, for each main idea, subtopic, and supporting detail:

TITLE OF YOUR PIECE
I. Main Topic

1. Supporting detail for Subtopic A

2. Supporting detail for Subtopic A

B. Subtopic

1. Supporting detail for Subtopic B

2. Supporting detail for Subtopic B

II. Second Main Topic

1. Supporting detail for Subtopic A

2. Supporting detail for Subtopic A

B. Subtopic

1. Supporting detail for Subtopic B

2. Supporting detail for Subtopic B

III. Third Main Topic

1. Supporting detail for Subtopic A

2. Supporting detail for Subtopic A

B. Subtopic

1. Supporting detail for Subtopic B

2. Supporting detail for Subtopic B

Start by arranging your note cards into logical groups to help you decide the most important things for your paper. You may find that there are note cards that don’t fit into any category of your paper, and it’s okay to eliminate some of them.
You should include as many topics as you need to cover to complete your explanation of your colony. Examples of outlines, including an example of an outline for this research book can be found in the Formats and Models section of the website.
