How can this really be another testament of…
Downloaded from: http://ldsscriptureteachings.org/2014/02/20/alma-30-alma-confronts-korihor/ I teach young people from the Book of Mormon on a regular basis. When I was a young person, anti-Mormon literature was difficult to come by. Today, in the age of the internet, even a member of the Church of … Continue reading →
Downloaded from: http://nwseminaryshare.weebly.com/2/post/2014/02/alma-43-62-lessons-in-spiritual-warfare.html I recently presented to my teachers ideas for teaching the War Chapters. While giving lesson ideas, I wanted to demonstrate how quickly you could go to some key verses, give a good “Look for”, follow up with good questions, and then have the students come up with good “Take Aways” that you hope would stick with them. The text in Red is what I might invite…

Downloaded from: http://nwseminaryshare.weebly.com/2/post/2014/02/helaman-3-7-pride-cycle-glue-in.html Here is a simple glue-in to teach about the pride cycle in Helaman and 3rd Nephi. Often when teaching the storyline in Helaman, I would stop them and point to the Pride Cycle and ask, “Where does it seem like the Nephites are on the cycle right now? Where are the Lamanites on the cycle?”. It is also good to ask them were the country is right…

Well. This was not the best Seminary lesson. I was so excited, too. I have to say that I’m not quite sure what went wrong. I have two new students, one of whom is testing me, another student who is trying to get the new student to notice her at any cost, another whose feelings I must have hurt but who wouldn’t talk to me about it, and I let…

What is going on here?” Later we read that Lamoni’s … Continue reading →
Downloaded from: http://ldsscriptureteachings.org/2014/02/12/alma-21-what-didnt-work/ Aaron’s experience in Alma 21 is an illustration that can be used as a comparison to Ammon’s missionary work in Alma 17.

Downloaded from: http://ldsscriptureteachings.org/2014/02/11/alma-14-the-problem-of-evil/ Alma 14 takes us to the situation faced by Alma and Amulek in Ammonihah – they are bound as those that believe in Jesus Christ are gathered and executed by the wicked leaders of the community. Amulek asks Alma if … Continue reading →
Today’s lesson went well despite a minor snafu — I nearly slept in! I woke up rested, which as all you Seminary teachers know is an unusual and unfamiliar state in your life during winter. It took a few moments to register that I was probably feeling good because somehow I had slept in. It took another few minutes for Jared to find a clock and check the time —…

These past few days are the first I’ve felt I had both feet solidly undeneath me since November. Just when I thought I was getting a grip, our family careened headlong into another crisis.

Downloaded from: http://nwseminaryshare.weebly.com/2/post/2014/02/scripture-study-skills-bookmark.html I wanted to share with you a great bookmark a fellow teacher (Eric Bacon) shared with me. The one side has the scripture study skills listed on pages 20-23 of the Gospel Teaching & Learning handbook that you all should have. The other side is questions a student could use as they approach a set of verses. This is a great time of year to help…
