Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
Last week we were doing housekeeping things during class and did not get to cover the stories that students were reading in as much depth as I would prefer. I used this method I named Silent Time Line Sorting Game to quickly cover 4 chapters students had read before class, as an introduction to the next chapters in Acts. This was a fun, useful game, and it was QUIET! I…

If you use the Basic Doctrines Assessment on a local level, you will want an easy way to format and process the results. Here is the spreadsheet I used. Section Two is the most valuable in my opinion. If you’d like to see what the results of this BDA form look like, see my blog entry Results of the Basic Doctrines Assessment. These spreadsheets were created in Libre Office, the…

I will use this worksheet with our study of Acts 21 and Acts 22 tomorrow. It is a worksheet based loosely on the lesson in the NT Seminary manual. I altered it to demonstrate that students in our class are also preparing for missions right now in ways they may not have considered. I am using it as independant work while I give out report cards and meet with…

I wrote this Passover haggadah for use in my Seminary class. You can read about how we performed the service here. I’m not a scholar, and not pretending to be. This is just provided for your information and enjoyment. You are welcome to make any changes you need for your activity.
This handout shows what is meant by the sixth hour of the day or the watches of the night as mentioned in the New Testament. The Roman clock, or time of day, was divided into 12 hours (Latin horae) of light and 12 hours of darkness. Since the length of the sunlight varied with the seasons this also meant that the length of the hour changed – with shorter hours…

Here are the famed New Testament License Plates on one sheet.
This is a file from Linda D, a seminary teacher will nearly two decades of experience. She’s something of a legend around here in the Northern Virginia area. This is a 36-week pacing guide she made that incorporates Preach My Gospel along with the scriptures from the New Testament. It’s amazing. I don’t know for sure, but it looks like this reading chart has been loosely arranged by the order…

See NT Seminary Student Manual p. 55 President Benson’s quote about youth fitness. Link to an article he wrote: http://www.lds.org/new-era/1979/09/your-charge-to-increase-in-wisdom-and… This handout involves looking up scriptures and matching them to the area of development. There are four scriptures for each area.
I’ve gotten two requests for the 2013 scripture reading chart, so I guess it’s time to buckle down and make a new one. Here it is, ready for 2013. I’ve added a new version with two charts per page. Please comment below if you’re going to use it so that I know if it’s worth making again next year.
I will use this handout to help my Seminary students recognize characteristics of people they encounter in their study. The document is geared to help students recognize problem-solving techniques used by the character, the results, how Jesus or Heavenly Father acted in the person’s life, and how lessons learned might help students in the future. Character Study Name: Scripture: Spouse/ Children: Age: Hometown: Occupation: Describe this person using only three…

This year I’ve created the New Testament License plates as larger images so that you can download them and resize them to whatever size you need. Let me know if you see any errors, and good luck teaching Seminary! Please email any handouts or games or other ideas you make for Seminary to [email protected]. I can use any and all help!
I made this image to go with a poster I am using throughout the Seminary year. I cut out a piece of red poster board in the shape of an apple. During the next few weeks I will have students write on post-it notes when they notice something during Acts that was a sign following those that believe in Christ. The purpose is to help them learn to recognize followers…
