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 Assignments

When the seven Sager children encounter tragedy early in their family’s journey, the rest of the wagon train helps them finish their journey all the way to Oregon. These youngsters aren’t out of harm’s way, though, as more danger is ahead of them, forcing them to prove that they are indeed stout-hearted. As more people on the wagon train became sick with the fever, the Sager children are faced with having to take over some of the responsibilities that would have usually fallen to their parents.
• Create an Author Profile for Neta Lohnes Frazier.
• Read Chapters 1 – 4 in The Stout-Hearted Seven.

Composition Assignments

During this unit, we will be learning how to write How-to Articles. This kind of informational report requires the writer to give very detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to complete a task, whether simple or complex. The writer must also assume that the reader of his or her article doesn’t have any knowledge at all about the topic. For instance, if you were describing how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, you would need to include such details as unscrewing the lid from the peanut butter jar, measuring out a tablespoon of peanut butter, and spreading onto one side of the bread with a butter knife.
• Try writing some instructions for this simple task—it takes more thought and planning than you might think!
• Carefully examine the pictures of both a corn husk doll and a roaring fire on the Resources section of the website.
• Select either the corn husk doll or the roaring fire to be the topic of your first How-to Article.
• Print the “Flow-chart Graphic Organizer” from the website.
• Use your graphic organizer to help you plan the steps that you will need to discuss for how to either create a corn husk doll or build a fire.
  • You do not need to write in complete sentences in this chart, but you will want to include as many details as you can so that your writing will be specific.
  • Since you have probably never done one of these tasks before on your own, you might need to use a little creativity, but try to place yourself in the situation of the Sager children, and consider the items they’d have on hand.
  • After you have completed your flow chart, get feedback from a parent, teacher, and your peers.

Grammar Assignments

• Congratulations on finishing all of the grammar content for the entire year! Read the instructions for the Final Grammar Project, found on the Artios Home Companion website. You will be extending this project over the rest of the unit.
