Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time

I had a fun time with this lesson. I felt like I had a clear focus, which gave me a chance to really push my lesson home. I do wish I had more time to polish it, but I spent the day Monday Christmas-ing up the house for my daughter, and didn’t realize I hadn’t […]

I followed up on our challenge to introduce ourselves to new move-ins and seek to welcome them to our ward at the beginning of class. No stories to share, but I’ll follow up again later. Last week we did not get to the gifts of the spirit in D&C 46, and since a student mentioned […]

This lesson didn’t turn out how I expected, but it was a nice lesson. This is one of those rare cases where I probably got more out of the lesson than anyone, but I think we all learned something. To open the lesson, I reminded them of the overview we had last week about the Saints gathering to Ohio, and shared a story from the manual about Lucy Smith leading…

Ha! I found my lesson notes for this lesson! I am going to back date it so that it shows in order on the website, but really I’m writing this three weeks after I gave the lesson, so hopefully I can remember how it went. This was the At The Ohio lesson for me, so I spent a good bit of time giving the class an overview of the Kirkland…

I felt good about this lesson when it was over. My attempt to accommodate my visually impaired student was successful, and the discussion was pretty great. The student in class who was a former seminary teacher texted me afterward to thank me for it. It’s nice to have a good lesson every now and again. I started out with my “look over what you read and share something you liked”…

This lesson felt a lot better to me for some reason. I didn’t spend as much time on Emma as I expected to, given the audience, but it worked out fine. My outline is pretty sparse, but I’ll try to fill in the deets. Started out by asking students to look over these sections and share what they liked. This always opens a good discussion. Once they came back to…

Okay — this lesson bombed for me. Even I was bored teaching this junk. The ladies seemed fine with it, but I was bored to death. My lesson objectives were Students will learn about the organization of the church Students will review the duties of church offices/priesthood with an eye toward the duties of the members With this group, I try to give a little background history information at the…

When I first began teaching, I kept hearing people say that teachers should “teach with the Spirit”. What did that even mean? It’s not like I can control when the Holy Ghost testifies or if another person can hear or listen to him, right? Does teaching with the spirit mean I should scrap the manual and wing my lessons? A lot of teachers I observed didn’t feel a lesson was…

I’ve completed the move to WordPress, or at least, I’ve completed it far enough to take the website live, anyway. I’ll blog another day about why I moved to WordPress from Drupal, but for now, I’m just going to make a quick run-down of the new features of the site. Streamlined Menus I hate to admit it, but LDS.org may have gotten this right. Less menu options is better on…

This lesson was another winner. I am relieved that things seem to be going along steadily. Today we talked about the Three Witnesses, the Atonement with an emphasis on repentance and punishment, and covered the job description of the Twelve Apostles. We had a nonmember who had just moved into the building show up and stay. She’s Catholic, so she didn’t agree within some of the things we said, but…
