Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
Downloaded from: http://ldsywideasandactivities.blogspot.com/2013/09/personal-progress-conference.html Last night we had an all-girls (joint class) activity that I called “Personal Progress Conference.” I borrowed heavily from an idea I saw on the A Little Crafting blog here but I adapted it a bit to fit our needs. The main purpose of the activity was to show the girls that Personal Progress can be fun and is not difficult to do. I knew some of…

This idea is based on one shared at LDS Seminary Teacher Group by Lindsey M. Here’s what people say about it: Here’s an idea for recapping 1 Nephi. I did something similar last year in NT with Paul, and the students said it was one of their favorite activities! – Lindsay M You know if you did this for each book at the end of the year you could…

I know I’m a few days late welcoming my favorite season, but I’ve been enjoying the fall so much already that I practically forgot to share a new printable with you! This printable coordinates with my other seasonal printables (get spring and summer he…
Well, today’s lesson was not stellar. I don’t know why I keep doing this same lesson — it’s a flop nearly every time. I’m just expecting too much. These students just can not write a short script from a scripture text to save their lives. Three years I’ve been doing it, and it never seems to get any better. It’s always much better if we talk about the story and…

Downloaded from: http://seminarymoments.blogspot.com/2013/09/steps-to-disobedience.html I handed each of them this picture to put in their journals. We discussed what they thought it wasWhere is was leadingAny feelings they had Many of them thought what ever was at the bottom, couldn’t be goodDid it even have a bottom?Then I read this statement: by Elder H. Ross Workman of the Seventy:“Murmuring consists of three steps, each leading to the next in a descending path to disobedience.” First,…

Downloaded from: http://seminarymoments.blogspot.com/2013/09/who-was-nephi.html We brained stormed about who Nephi was. A student was the scribe. As the class shared what they knew about the Prophet Nephi, it was written on the board. The students then copied them in their journals. Next we compared Lehi to Joseph Smith using the scriptures: 1 Nephi 1: 4-20 and JSH 1: 1-35We were amazed to find how much their lives were alike. Take a few…

Downloaded from: http://seminarymoments.blogspot.com/2013/09/class-mascot.html So this little fellow will be used in class this year. When I want to call on someone to read, I will toss it to them. They in turn will toss it to another person to read. We can use it in Scripture Mastery and games along the way. The ideas are endless! The choosing of a name proved harder than I thought. Only one rule: had to…

I’m feeling better about Seminary this week as things have settled down. I’m also glad I held out on the manual — the last two lessons have been usable for me, and made planning a lot easier. Earlier in the week it was looking like the manual was going to be unusable. I’m glad I was wrong. 1 Nephi 7-8 To open this lesson I asked for three volunteers to…

Downloaded from: http://seminaryatsixam.blogspot.com/2013/09/frankly-forgive.html 1 Nephi 7The phrase that touches my heart in this chapter is “frankly forgive”After Nephi’s brothers and some of the sons and daughters of Ishmael tied him up in the wilderness with the intent to leave him for the wild beasts to devour, his faith enabled him to loosen the cords and be set free.His brothers were still hard hearted, but eventually, they bowed down to him…

Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/09/16/1-nephi-7-family-faith-forgiveness/ Because of pacing issues I was tempted to just summarize 1 Nephi 7 with story-line and move on to 1 Nephi 8 with the Tree of Life. But I had had a couple of other teachers (online friends) share their good experiences with 1 Nephi 7 and in an effort to fulfill the aim of […]
I made this handout for use with 1 Nephi 5. “When we want to speak to God, we pray; when we want Him to speak to us, we study the scriptures. If you have not heard His voice speaking to you lately, return with new eyes and new ears to the scriptures.” Robert D Hales When I say “study,” I mean something more than reading. It is a good thing…
