D&C 30-35

November 7, 2014

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”…

Handling Disruptive Students

November 7, 2014

From the Gospel Teaching and Learning Handbook: Correct disorderly or inappropriate behavior. There are some general principles to keep in mind that will help a teacher invite proper order and respect in the classroom. To have order does not always mean having complete silence; nor does it mean that a class cannot be enjoyable and fun. But a disorderly or irreverent student or group of students can have a negative…

Using home study manual and pre-assignments with D&C 38

November 7, 2014

By Debbie D. Duran Debbie D. Duran : I taught #DandC38:1-16 today, and I thought it came together nicely. I assigned the class the day before (and emailed parents) to read the section and choose a phrase, verse or verses that speak to them spiritually and be prepared to share that with the class. When they arrived I noted which verses those who prepared had to call upon while teaching….

Activity Days – Let It Light Shine Recognition Activity

November 3, 2014

Three words.  Do.  This.  Activity. First of all, families were invited and it was short (about 45 minutes total).  But every part of it was meaningful and an opportunity for the girls to share and SHINE.  The group has been working on developing and talking about testimonies.  This Recognition Activity focused on that – testimonies.

D&C 17-19

October 8, 2014

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…

Group wall post by Rachel Heder Short

October 8, 2014

By Rachel Heder Short Rachel Heder Short : I am teaching Lesson 23, D&C 18:17-47 tomorrow. To illustrate the point of taking upon the name of Christ, I was thinking of making the kids nametags with their name followed by, “disciple of Christ” and make them wear it during class. I want them to imagine what it would be like if they wore that all day at school and how…

Activity: “The Family: A Proclamation to the World”

October 8, 2014

By Erin Isenberg The Sharing Time theme for the first week of October is “‘The Family: A Proclamation to the World’ came from God to help my family.” Because of General Conference and other scheduling considerations, your primary may or may not be covering this lesson.

Activity: "The Family: A Proclamation to the World"

October 8, 2014

The Sharing Time theme for the first week of October is “‘The Family: A Proclamation to the World’ came from God to help my family.”  Because of General Conference and other scheduling considerations, your primary may or may not be covering this lesson.  The Outline for Sharing Time suggests giving a sentence from the Proclamation to each class and asking them to think of a song which relates to that sentence.  If your Primary Presidency is teaching this lesson, consider working with them.  If the lesson is being skipped, you can use the activity on your own for Singing Time.  


Variations:
-If your primary is familiar with the pictures in the Matching Game, you might print a picture to go with each of the chosen songs.  Post them all on the board at the front of the room.  As you read each quote, ask the children to decide which song they feel fits.  


-In larger Primaries, or those which are split between Junior and Senior, this activity might be too difficult for the younger kids.  Along with the quote from “The Proclamation,” you might give the children three song suggestions and ask which they believe fits best.  

Below, find my suggestions for quotes and songs.

“We, the First Presidency and the Council of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, solemnly proclaim that marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that the family is central to the Creator’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children.”

Latter-Day Prophets – 134



“All human beings -male and female-are created in the image of God.  Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny.”


“In the premortal realm, spirit sons and daughters knew and worshipped God as their Eternal Father and accepted His plan by which His children could obtain a physical body and gain earthly experience to progress toward perfection and ultimately realize their divine destiny as heirs of eternal life.”

I Lived in Heaven -4


“The divine plan of happiness enables family relationships to be perpetuated beyond the grave. Sacred ordinances and covenants available in holy temples make it possible for individuals to return to the presence of God and for families to be united eternally.”
Truth From Elijah – 90
The Hearts of the Children – 92
Family History, I am Doing It – 94
I Love to See the Temple – 95
“Parents have a sacred duty to rear their children in love and righteousness, to provide for their physical and spiritual needs, and to teach them to love and serve one another, observe the commandments of God, and be law-abiding citizens wherever they live.” 
The Twelfth Article of Faith – 131
Love One Another – 136
Love is Spoken Here – 190



“Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ.” 

How Firm a Foundation – H85 (Senior Primary should remember this from several years ago)
A Happy Family – 198
The Wise Man and the Foolish Man – 281



“Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities.” 

I Pray in Faith – 14
Faith – 96
The Fourth Article of Faith – 124
Family Night – 195



“By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families.”

The Family is of God, verse 2 – 2014 Outline for Sharing Time
Daddy’s Homecoming – 210
My Dad – 211



“Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children.”
The Family is of God, verse 3 – 2014 Outline for Sharing Time
Mother, Dear – 206
Mother, I Love You – 207

“…we warn that the disintegration of the family will bring upon individuals, communities, and nations the calamities foretold by ancient and modern prophets.”

Keep the Commandments – 146



“We call upon responsible citizens and officers of government everywhere to promote those measures designed to maintain and strengthen the family as the fundamental unit of society.”

Dare to do Right – 158
Stand for the Right – 159

Role of a Learner 2014

working in small groups to figure out the”Role of a Learner”

Role of a Learner 2014

Role of a Learner 2014

Role of a Learner 2014

Role of a Learner 2014

I gave them each this handout (from fellow seminary teacher Becky Edwards) and told them take two different colored pens, to go to a quite spot and discuss how to be a “learner”. Then we met back together to share what they learned.

Keys to Active Learning

Read these quotes. Mark in one color what actions you’re being invited to take to obtain spiritual learning.   Mark in a second color the promised blessings of doing these things.

1. “The very process of formulating a question, raising a hand, asking a question and listening attentively is an expression of faith. This principle of seeking learning by faith invites individualized teaching by the Holy Ghost”  (Elder David A. Bednar, Address to Australian Saints, April 2008).

2. “Assure that there is abundant participation because that use of agency by a student authorizes the Holy Ghost to instruct. It also helps the student retain your message.  As students verbalize truths, they are confirmed in their souls and strengthen their personal testimonies” (Elder Richard G. Scott, “To Understand and Live Truth,” Feb. 4, 2005).          

3. “We are to help students learn to explain, share, and testify of the doctrines and principles of the restored gospel. We are to give them opportunities to do so with each other in class.  We are to encourage them to do so outside of class with family and others” (The Teaching Emphasis in the Church Educational System, November 14, 2007).

4. “When you encourage students to raise their hand to respond to a question, they signify to the Holy Spirit their willingness to learn.  That use of moral agency will allow the Spirit to motivate and give them more powerful guidance during your time together. Participation allows individuals to experience being led by the Spirit. They learn to recognize and feel what spiritual guidance is. It is through the repeated process of feeling impressions, recording them, and obeying them that one learns to depend on the direction of the Spirit more than on communication through the five senses” (Richard G. Scott, “Helping Others to Be Spiritually Led,” 8/11/1998).

5. “Do you know how to get the most benefit from this time together?  Write down the impressions you feel…Spiritual moments in life often come when it seems difficult to record them.  Yet that special effort to crystallize in a permanent record sacred impressions of the Holy Ghost is powerfully rewarded.  Begin now even if you have to borrow paper and pencil to do it.” (Richard G. Scott, BYU-I Devot., Feb. 24, 2004)

               

6. 1 Nephi 19:23 – …I did liken all scriptures unto us, that it might be for our profit and learning.

7.  D&C 88:122 – Appoint among yourselves a teacher, and let not all be spokesmen at once; but let one speak at a time and let all listen unto his sayings, that when all have spoken that all may be edified of all, and that every man may have an equal privilege.

8. “The person at the pulpit’s most important purpose is to teach by the Spirit.  Those in attendance must hear by the Spirit.  The best way to hear by the Spirit that I have found is simply to have in your heart a prayer for the person who is speaking.  If you will pray for the person who is speaking you will hear things you would not otherwise hear.  The Spirit will say things that He might not otherwise say.” (Elder Dunn, quoted by Kelly Haws in Priesthood training mtg)

                                               

I Accept God’s Invitation to be an Active Learner this Year in Seminary.

Increasing Student Participation during Gospel Lessons

September 11, 2014

Most gospel teachers struggle with classroom participation. Sometimes you’ll get a classroom of students who are very active and loud, and other times you may have a classroom of very quiet students. We want students to enjoy each other, but “between the prayers” we want them to talk about the gospel — not Friday night’s game. Following are some ideas to help you increase appropriate discussion in your classroom: Talk…
