Be sure you completed your summary card for lesson 76.
1) Using a concordance, or even the one in the back of a Bible, research what the Bible says about heaven and hell. Fold a piece of paper in half vertically and label one column "heaven" and one column "hell." In each column write down Scripture locations you found that describe heaven and hell. Then write a paraphrase or descriptive words found in that verse that describe either heaven or hell.
2) Study your list of dates to be memorized; practice reciting them to a parent.
3) Review lessons 73 - 75.
4) In preparation for the next lesson, research some information about the Shawnee Indians. Learn about their (a) history (b) customs (c) present-day lives, and (d) their current locations. Write a brief 3 paragraph report about this information and bring to class this Tuesday.

______________________________________________
Remember to write your summary card for lesson 74 if you did not complete it.
Read Lesson 75 and write a summary card for it too! After you read the lesson, try the following activity at home for which you will need 1 hard-boiled egg and 1 raw egg - each of them still in their shell:
1) Spin the hard-boiled egg on a hard surface. Stop the egg from spinning with your hand but do not hold onto the egg! Quickly remove your hand. Observe the egg for any movement.
2) Now do the same thing with the raw egg.
Do this exercise several times. What do you observe? Do you know why? (It has to do with Newton's first law of motion.)

Remembering People of Resolve
Look up the word "resolve" in a dictionary and copy the clearest meaning on paper. Note the source you used to define it.
Write a summary for the last lesson, "The Scottish Covenanters."
Choose one of the projects listed and complete it, bringing it to class this Tuesday.
A) It was customary in Scotland to write poetry. Choose one of the martyrs from the lesson and write a short poem about him or her. Then, sketch the shape of a tombstone onto a piece of paper large enough to enclose your poem within it. Then, using fancy handwriting or calligraphy, write the poem within the tombstone on your paper. You may also choose to print it from a computer if you prefer.
B) Psalm 25, Psalm 103, and Revelation 19 were passages of the Bible used by the Covenanters while facing death and persecution. Write about what you find most meaningful from those passages. What Scripture has helped you through a difficult time. You may include that testimony as part of your writing as well.
C) Jenny Geddes was a girl with an interesting story in history. Research her story and her reaction to civil authorities. Tell about what you find in a written report. Discuss the right or wrong of her actions.
D) Daniel Defoe was an Englishman who lived during the same historical period as the last lesson. He wrote Robinson Crusoe. Research his life and write a biographical report about his life and times. Draw attention to the events that influenced his many works of literature.

Map Work and Review
Access this website and spend at least 2 separate sessions of 10 minutes each practicing with the "Europe Map Quiz (Easy)" in the upper left hand corner, printed in green. It is a link you click. Then, play the map game to learn the modern countries of Europe on this map. Note that this is not a complete map in order to learn these countries prior to incorporating more detail.
Review lessons 67 -72 for a quiz on Friday. (The quiz will not be a preformed quiz but teacher created according to what was emphasized in class discussions during these lessons and recent reviews.)

Blaise Pascal
Read Lesson 71 and write a summary card for it. As none of you are "younger students" for the purposes of the text's organization, everyone should read the whole lesson.
Print and glue this image onto a piece of paper for filing under "Europe: France" in your notebook.

| Blaise Pascal by Augustin Pajou
Underneath your printed picture, write the following thoughts by Pascal:
"Knowing God without knowing our own wretchedness makes for pride.
Knowing our own wretchedness without knowing God makes for despair.
Knowing Jesus Christ strikes the balance because He shows us both God and our own wretchedness."
__________________________________________________________ View this link just to take a look at the scientific information represented by Pascal's name, referenced by the abbreviation Pa. Scroll down and just read the definition. __________________________________________________________ (Day 2) ~ Read the following excerpt from Pascal typed below. Then write in a well developed paragraph what you think he meant when he said that man is both the "glory and refuse of the universe." Search your Bible for five or more Scripture passages that support Pascal's conclusion. Focus on passages regarding the natural state of mankind versus the redeemed. "What sort of freak then is man! How novel, how monstrous, how chaotic, how paradoxical, how prodigious! Judge of all things, feeble earthworm, repository of truth, sink of doubt and error, glory and refuse of the universe!" Use a dictionary for any words you do not understand. Use the concordance in the back of your Bible or one online or in your family library to search for passages of Scripture related to man's depravity and redemption, man's glory being made in the likeness of God, and defiled existence because of sin. Use these to help you write your paragraph. This project requires a little time and thoughtfulness for it to be done well, and that is what I am expecting from each of you. You are able; do not make it seem more difficult than it is. |
