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.

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.

[example of student’s class journal] Today we covered Moroni 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 (with a little bit from Ether 15).

I distributed their class journals and asked them to journal about that for just a moment, listing…
