Unit Description
As the colonies grew in number and population, the needs of the colonies grew as well. Development took place in the areas of early education, colleges, literature, newspapers, libraries, and government. At the same time, deep divisions grew between those in favor of slavery and those who opposed it.

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

Literature Assignments
- Read the assignment background information, then read all of “Rip Van Winkle.”
- Write the plot (single sentence) of “Rip Van Winkle,” then write a “skeleton” or “working plot” of the story.
- Think of a plot for your own short story (this should be one sentence) and begin developing your “working plot.” You do not need to finish your “working plot;” however, you should begin to form the direction you want your story to go.
