SirWalterRaleighUnit Description

“King James’ hatred of the company [of Virginia] became deadly. He harassed it in every way and at last in 1624 took its charter away, and made Virginia a Crown Colony. Henceforth in theory at least self-government was taken away from Virginia, and to the king alone belonged the right of appointing the governor and Council.

After the death of King Charles the coming of the Cavaliers had made Virginia Royalist and aristocratic, so now the coming of those persecuted Protestants and Presbyterians tended to make it democratic. That is, the coming of the Cavaliers increased the number of those who believed in the government of the many by the few. The coming of the European Protestants increased the number of those who believed in the government of the people by the people…”
– H. E. Marshall

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

Unit 7 Literature & Composition Assignments 

  • Read Chapters 11 – 15 in The Witch of Blackbird Pond.
  • Your graphic organizer will now become your “road map” as you write the rough draft of your newspaper article. A rough draft should be just that–rough–don’t worry too much about your spelling, punctuation, or grammar during this part of the process; just focus on writing your ideas in complete sentences, using as much detail as you can.
  • Now would be a good time to refer back to your newspaper and listen to how the reporter’s “voice” sounds.
  • It can be very helpful to break your writing up into short chunks of time, and come back to re-read what you have already written frequently.
