Unit Description
Lafayette, a French nobleman, believed in the cause of the American Revolution so much that he used his own money to help finance the war and came to America to fight alongside the American forces. After the war, Lafayette returned to France but eventually came back to America on a visit and was greeted with a hero’s welcome.
“Rarely has the benefactor of a people been awarded such measure of gratitude as we gave Lafayette in 1824. Eager crowds flocked into the cities and the villages to welcome this hero…” – Albert Blaisdell

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
- Read Chapters 6 – 10 in
Seaman
- .
Activity while reading:
- In your Social Media Journal, write at least three detailed status updates per chapter of your reading assignment as you are reading. Try to ensure that these updates give a general summary about the main events of the chapter.
- For example: If we were to live update the Three Little Pigs scene that we used with the first set of chapters, if might look something like this:
- #1 I’m hoping someone can tell me that I’m not crazy. I was just driving down the road, and I saw a pig walking down the road, carrying a huge load of straw between his front legs. He really seemed like he was on a mission! Have any of you ever seen something like this?
- #2 It’s happening again! This time there were two pigs, one about a mile down the road from the other. The first was pushing a wheelbarrow filled to overflowing with sticks, and the next one was struggling with a wheelbarrow that was full-to-the-brim with bricks. I’m starting to feel like I’m living in a fairy tale!
- #3 The plot keeps thickening. Out of the corner of my eye I just saw a sleek, grey wolf slinking down the side of the road. I could be imagining it, but it really seemed like he was stalking those pigs ahead of him. Do you guys think I should call someone? The police? Animal control, maybe? I’m just getting a feeling in the pit of my stomach that I’m going to see something about this in the evening news.
