Scripture Mastery Mix it Up
So today for scripture mastery, I passed out a sheet of 25 picture representations for each of the 25 scripture mastery scriptures. I gave the students five minutes to write out all of the references they could figure out for each picture representation. For the second set of five minutes I let them use their scriptures to fill in any…
The Importance of Following Directions
Then to give a break from the reading (and to rouse the sleepy-headed students), I passed out a “3-Minute Test.” This was a quick little quiz to test “obedience” and precision to directions. You can easily make your own. Start off by announcing that they are to read through the entire test before doing anything. But then have a series…
End of the Year Seminary Auction
Today we had our end of the year auction and pizza party. We had a blast. It took very little preparation and the students seemed to really enjoy themselves. Here are the few easy steps: 1. Determine Each Student’s Brigham Bucks.I’ve found the simplest way to add up each student’s “money” to spend during the auction is to use the…
Going into the Summer
Howdy! I’m now two days into having sleep, not having to rise during the middle of the night to prep for seminary. It is a refreshing feeling. :0) Teaching seminary is such a blessing and privilege, yet it does require great effort, which somedays can be akin to climbing a mountain side. So it is a blessing to be able…
Seminary and Scripture Mastery Teaching – A Year in Review
Now that my seminary school year is finished (yours still may be going), it is time to review several items so that I can analyze my teaching and any areas of focus needing help for next year. Here is a link to the Teaching Emphasis that CES needs us to use as we work with our students. To be able…
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…
