Sam the Minuteman – CD Study Guide

The Study Guide

We have sold Bible based literature study guides from Progeny Press for a number of years and have been very pleased with them. Progeny Press Study Guides are used in conjunction with age appropriate novels to explore literature from a sound Biblical perspective. These study guides deal with literature as works of art and philosophy, explain and use literary terms, and deal with plot construction. They dig into why the characters act, believe, and feel as they do and examine what the Bible says in similar circumstances. Easy-to-use lessons include vocabulary exercises, comprehension and analysis, critical thinking, questions on related Biblical principles, activities, plus a complete answer key.

PLEASE NOTE: The study guide on this CD is in PDF format. Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to view and print this file format. If your computer does not already contain Adobe Acrobat Reader or you need to upgrade to the latest version, it can be downloaded free via an internet link included on this CD. The guide can be printed as many times as you need for student use. This CD-ROM is PC & Mac compatible.

The British soldiers are marching to Concord where the colonists have hidden weapons. Sam goes with his father and the minutemen, hoping to hold back the British. At their first encounter, Sam’s best friend is injured. Learning to stay hidden, the minutemen’s second encounter with the British drives them off.
