The Final Day of Seminary
Well, today was our final day of seminary. I actually was up all night, trying to get everything just so. Not recommended! [weak grin] But I was excited, because I’d prepared a “scrapbook movie” DVD to showcase the spiritual growth the students had made this year. The DVD contained a ten minute “scrapbook” movie for the seminary kids to distribute…
The Book of Mormon – the big finale
[example of class work] As the students walk into the classroom each morning, they find a question waiting for them to journal about. We have done this every morning of the year. Not only does it help bring a spirit of quiet in preparation for our lesson, but I am always writing questions (or at least trying) that point the…
Moroni 8, 9, & 10 – The Big Promise
How to finish off The Book of Mormon in a big way? I’ve been puzzling on this for some time. The answer came in a surprising way. My husband, as part of his highcouncilman duties for the stake, had the assignment to attend the singles branch – and for once, our entire family went with him. What a privilege this…
Moroni 7 – Charity suffereth long…
Today the youth finished off their presentations/Spiritual Finals on Moroni 7. Once they shared their thoughts on their assigned sections, I led them through a step-by-step analysis of Moroni 7:45.

Moroni 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 – Your Perspective, Please
[example of student’s class journal] Today we covered Moroni 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 (with a little bit from Ether 15). To start off today, I asked the students to think of one of the loneliest times they have ever experienced. I distributed their class journals and asked them to journal about that for just a moment, listing…
Ether 13, 14, & 15 – Building a City
[example of student work – to see up close, click on picture] Today we covered Ether 13, 14, & 15. I started off by drawing a city silhouette on the board and then asked the students, “Of all the cities you could live in, which one would it be and why?” (from the lesson manual) The students call out a…
