October 22, 2013 History Summaries for Levels 3 & 4

We started to make framed pictures of the colonies with quotes from their founding documents that demonstrate that each colony existed to spread the good news about Jesus. This is history that they will not easily find many places. We talked a bit about why the colonies strayed from this last week and how the Great Awakening created a base for the American Revolution. We will come back to that theme again this coming week as we explore the basis for the American Revolution.

Assignment:  Finish your picture with the quotes and bring it to class this week.
Optional for the research addicted: 

Get a copy of the Declaration of Independence and read the first paragraph. Write down what you think it means in your own words.
Look over the cards about trade with England up to the Revolution.
