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
- God’s providential hand governs and times all events and provides for His Creation according to His plan and purposes.
- The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.- Acts 17: 24 – 27
- 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
- God raises up and removes leaders.
- He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning..- Daniel 2:21

Literature and Composition Assignments
- Assign1
- Read Chapters 11 – 15 in Sign of the Beaver.
Composition Assignment
- Write the rough draft of your research book. You should do this on notebook paper, even though the final draft will be done in a blank book. Each one of your subtopics should become at least one paragraph, and you should have a minimum of ten paragraphs when you are finished; however, feel free to make your book lengthier if you’d like. Use the following approach:
- Make sure your note cards are organized into the order in which you will use them in your book.
- Work through the writing of your research book by following your outline and referring to the information in your organized note cards. You won’t be able to just copy those note cards in order; you will need to fit your information together so that it sounds natural. Remember to use at least one quote.
- Finish with some final, general thoughts about your colony.
- If you’d like to make your paper even more “polished,” include parenthetical citations within your paper. These are references within your paper that tell the source of your information; they are very simple to add as you are writing, and will help better prepare you for the writing that you will do in middle school and beyond. You will find links with explanations on how to handle different types of sources within the Resources section of the website.
Grammar Assignment
- Read the notes on Patterns 4 & 5, beginning on page 3.
- Complete the corresponding exercises on the Artios Home Companion website.
