Curricululm Choices for 2010-2011--Unit 1 TOG

I don't think I can lose this if I post it here. Much better than writing it on post it notes and then misplacing them. Giggle.

TOG- (Unit Study Including History, Geography, Literature/Poetry, Government, Church History, World View, Philosophy, Fine Arts, and Writing)

Unit 1 Napoleon's World
The dominant thread, or theme of Year 3 will be 'sowing and reaping.' Humanist thinking has been tended and nurtured since the Renaissance, while the Word of God has been largely neglected. As we study history this year will be watching in dismay as again and again men choose to sow in the flesh and walk in the light of their own torches.

Key Year 3 Verses
Galatians 6:7-9 Do not be deceived: God is cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction.; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Isaiah 50:10-11 Who among you fears the Lord and obeys the word of his servant: Let him who walks in the dark, who has no light, trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God. But now, all you who light fires and provide yourselves with flaming torches, go walk in the light of your fires and of the torches you have set ablaze. This is what you shall receive from my hand; You will lie down in torment.
