Recommendations for Electronic devices in Seminary

By Cindy Harris Congdon Cindy Harris Congdon: What electronic devices are helpful for you when presenting your lessons? Any cables or projectors that hook up easily to an iPhone? Speakers? Game equipment? Anything else? With Christmas coming up, I’d love some suggestions for my team-teacher (my husband) to get for me. :) (53 minutes ago) Vickie Larson Fairchild: Did I know that you were teaching seminary as well?

Does anyone know where the terms ward and branch came from

By Sharon Lanier Rogerson Sharon Lanier Rogerson: Does anyone know where the terms Ward and Branch came from?

They then wanted to know where the term ward and branch originated. I’ve researched, I will admit not too extensively, but I…

D&C 60 and Oobleck

By Sally Avena Sally Avena: Today for #dandc60 for the section about testimonies, I made some “oobleck” (corn starch and water) to let them handle while we talked about the importance of sharing/using our testimonies. If you ‘use’ the oobleck it’s firm but if you just let it sit it gets all runny and slips through your fingers. Related that to our testimonies and had a great discussion. Good activity…

Lesson Planning: Don’t forget the student manual

By Jenny Smith Jenny Smith: I wanted to mention something I found while preparing last week’s lesson: the stories in the student manual are often better or extended compared to the teacher manual. For example in #dandc45, the student manual has a great extended explanation of the parable of the #tenvirgins from SWK. It’s not present in the teacher manual. If you’re like me and wanting more background or explanation,…

Testimonies are Recorded

By Rachel Murphy Rachel Murphy: Today’s lesson was #dandc60 and #dandc62. There was a lot to choose from but I felt impressed to focus on two specific scriptures from those sections about testimonies. DandC 60:2-3 and then DandC 62:3. 62:3 talks about our testimonies being recorded by angels in heaven. I had the students go into the gym and pick up a book in the circle and hold it. I…

Ideas for D&C 53

By Cheryl Elliott Belnap Cheryl Elliott Belnap: I haven’t shared anything in a while- today’s lesson was pretty good. We were in D&C 57. We started out reading silently the first 3 verses and discovered that the temple is in the center place of Zion. Then I had them all go up individually and write one thing about the temple on the board and they couldn’t write what someone else…

Increasing the Clarity of your Teaching

By Scott Knecht Details matter. Sometimes in lesson preparation I think of large themes and big things to do in class. But if I forget the details I lose some of the power that the lesson could have. For example, there are some words that pop up frequently that beg for definition. I happen to think that it is not a good idea to ask students for word definitions because…
