Downloaded from: http://nwseminaryshare.weebly.com/home/scripture-study-skills-lessons-1-6 Last year I developed a series of 6 lessons that help students learn critical scripture study skills. They are made to go along with most any place in the scriptures and train your students in critical skills like how to find principles, marking and annotating the scriptures, and how to prepare and give great scriptural thoughts. I shared those lessons periodically on the website. But now I…

Downloaded from: http://nwseminaryshare.weebly.com/home/3-nephi-12-worksheet-but-i-say-unto-you In 3rd Nephi we have the Savior teaching one of the greatest sermons ever given, which He also gave to the people in Israel. In 3 Nephi 12:21-48 we have the Savior giving the Higher Law and contrasts it to the Law of Moses. Have your students write in the middle column what the law was under Moses, and then summarize the Higher Law in the right…

This great talk was shared by a teacher on our Seminary teachers facebook group. It’s based on a paper that is at http://si.lds.org/. She made a handout, but I wanted more of the text of the paper instead of a worksheet, and made my own. I like the thrust of the text of this talk, which is basically directed at some themes that are found in the war chapters that…

Believe it or not, I can totally sum up the rest of Alma in one blog post. Since last I posted we’ve had Seminary less than 10 times. Last week we met only once due to another snowstorm and another freezing rain event. At this point I can’t even remember which days we met and which we didn’t without looking at our attendance sheets, which I have ignored entering in…

I used this review quiz to help students remember some of the things we’ve learned since the beginning of the year and so we can have a little fun during March Madness.

Downloaded from: http://ldsscriptureteachings.org/2014/03/08/alma-46-48-the-power-of-one/ We read in Alma 48:17 that if all men had been like Moroni, the powers of hell would be shaken forever. Since Moroni is an important protagonist in these chapters, it is good to analyze what he did and how his … Continue reading →

Downloaded from: http://ldsscriptureteachings.org/2014/03/03/alma-40-41-the-resurrection-justice/ There is much to cover in Alma 40-42. It is good to emphasize one or two doctrines when teaching Alma 40-41. I focused on the fact that there is a resurrection, that many witnesses have testified of this reality, and … Continue reading →
