Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
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 […]
Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/09/12/1-nephi-5-6-and-9-scripture-study-is-divine/ Brass Plates, Gold Plates, and more plates… Is it really that important to understand the structure of the Book of Mormon? Yup, I think so! It demonstrates the miracle of the Book of Mormon, including its structure and prophecies concerning the various plates. I really love teaching these chapters and the principles connected to them. The resources […]

I pointed out to those who hadn’t noticed yet that the Nike swooshes on the board created a face. I asked them, “Who do you think would be the ‘Just Do It!’ person in the Book […]
Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/09/10/1-nephi-1-faithful-and-favored/ One of my favorite bumper stickers says, “Jesus loves you… But I’m His favorite!” I know it is just a bumper sticker, but I wish that everyone felt that way. I really do wish that everyone had the kind of relationship with the Lord that made them feel that they are His favorite. Indeed, He […]
Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/09/09/day-7-witnesses-and-testimony-from-eye-witness-to-i-witness/ I dressed up in a judges robes (black graduation robes) for this lesson. The lesson material came from the tail end of LESSON 4: TITLE PAGE, INTRODUCTION, AND TESTIMONY OF WITNESSES and the first half of LESSON 5: OVERVIEW OF THE BOOK OF MORMON from the BOOK OF MORMON SEMINARY TEACHER MANUAL. This is again one of those lessons […]
Downloaded from: http://seminarymoments.blogspot.com/2013/09/my-classroom.html I have a small room for my seminary classroom. It was manageable when we had shorter tables. BUT someone removed the short tables and I had to get the long ones that are stored under the stage. It took my son and me THREE hours of moving things around to come up with this:I am hopeful this configuration will give us the space we need to maneuver…

Downloaded from: http://seminarymoments.blogspot.com/2013/09/welcome-back.html Seminary starts on Sept. 9! We will be studying the Book of Mormon this year.Since this is my 5th year teaching, I thought I wouldn’t have to spend as much time preparing for lessons. I could just recycle and reteach my old lessons. THEN I learned we have a whole new curriculum! I will try to recycle a lot of my activities (not whole lessons) from years past,…

Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/09/05/day-6-the-introduction-to-the-book-of-mormon/ Today’s lesson comes from LESSON 4: TITLE PAGE, INTRODUCTION, AND TESTIMONY OF WITNESSES of the BOOK OF MORMON SEMINARY TEACHER MANUAL. I had already taught the Title Page on Day 2, The Objective lesson. I had hoped to get through the testimonies of the witnesses today as well, but it did not happen. So I will have to […]
Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/09/04/day-5-the-plan-of-salvation/ We had a great experience today as we learned about the G.P.S.–God’s Plan of Salvation! As I will try to do throughout the year, I relied heavily on the BOOK OF MORMON SEMINARY TEACHER MANUAL. This particular lesson is drawn from LESSON 3: THE PLAN OF SALVATION. This lesson was very simple, and yet very profound for many […]
Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/09/03/day-4-studying-the-scriptures/ This lesson was based on the resources found in the Book of Mormon Seminary Teacher Manual, Lesson 2: Studying the Scriptures and Section 2.3 of GOSPEL TEACHING AND LEARNING: A HANDBOOK FOR TEACHERS AND LEADERS IN SEMINARIES AND INSTITUTES OF RELIGION. I encourage you to use the online version of these manuals since they have more content than the […]

Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/08/28/day-2-the-objective/ On day 2 we focused on understanding the objectives of the Book of Mormon and Seminary. I have found that when students understand the reason for something they are much more willing to “buy into” it. This lesson also introduces them to the process of “likening”-type thinking. We began by having the students pair and […]
