Unit Description

“King Charles the First of England gave Lord Baltimore, an English Catholic, a part of Virginia and named it Maryland, in honor of his wife, Queen Mary. A company of emigrants came out to Maryland in 1634. It was the first settlement in America in which all Christian people had entire liberty to worship God in whatever way they thought right. That liberty they owed to Lord Baltimore.”
– D. H. Montgomery

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 9 Literature Assignment

Enjoy a break from assigned reading during this unit, and focus all of your attention on our writing project! Of course, if you love reading as much as this writer does, you can find extra suggestions for fantastic time-period literature in the introduction to this curriculum in Unit One. Now would be a great time to do that!

Unit 9 Composition Assignment

Now that you have your final draft(s) written, you need to make it look like a newspaper. Using 11 x 17 paper, arrange your articles onto both the front and back sides. You will need to:
- Decide on a name for your newspaper
- Decide which story will be your cover story, which is the story that is highlighted on the front page.
- Include a table of contents, so that your reader knows which page to turn to in order to find the information they need.
Refer to your local newspaper to get some ideas on how the layout of your newspaper might look. There will probably be some extra space between your articles, and you should fill those in with eye-catching items: pictures, comics, crosswords, etc. Make sure that they are appropriate for the Puritan life-style!
When the final copy of your newspaper is complete, take it to a local copy store and make copies for your friends and family.

Unit 9 Grammar Assignment
