Are you having a hard time motivating students to be on time? You are not alone. February and March are often the hardest months with tardiness. Here are Carrots (incentives) and Sticks (penalties) that can help you help your class be on time better. There is also some good general advice, and what the policy manual has to say on the matter. I am sure that if you read through the list, you will come away with a few things to try, which will help your class do better.

Here is a worksheet to help you teach Section 107. As you go over the answers, make sure to discuss with follow up questions and focus on the principles and doctrines that are taught.
On the website, you will notice I changed the graphic from yesterday's email. Go to http://nwseminaryshare.weebly.com/home/the-life-changing-lesson to see that.
Thanks I think the goal of all of us teachers is to teach “Life Changing” lessons. But how can a lesson be life changing unless it motivates a student to “change”. All the techniques, activities, scriptures, and skills really come down to the one or two life changing principles or doctrines you hope sunk in, that they take away from class. Everything else we do is window-dressing. Years ago when I was teaching Seminary, I had a great Principal who, when the students were leaving my class, would take a student by the arm and say, “Hey, what did you learn in there today?” Being in earshot I would pray the student would say one of those life changing principles, and that it sunk in. This graphic represents two students walking away from class, and thinking and considering how they are going to implement what they learned. The one is saying to himself, “I’m going to…” and the other’s testimony of a doctrine has grown because they are saying, “I know that…” Try it with your students. After a lesson, hold up the graphic and say, “Complete the sentences based on today’s lesson.” If they can do it, you know the lesson just might have sunk into their hearts, and will change a life.
Cutout the 3 definitions on each of the 3 pages. Have three students come up at a time. Have each read the word and give a definition as noted on the paper. Afterwards have the class vote on whose definition they believe was the correct one. Do not tell them whose definition was the correct one. Have them read D&C 91 to figure out the correct definition. Pseudepigrapha is found in the LDS Bible dictionary. This is good to let students know about so they are not deceived when some news report talks about, “The Lost Gospel of Judas” or something like that.
Here is a glue-in for the Word of Wisdom that addresses two fairly common concerns. First is concerning “hot drinks” in verse 9 and why Tea and Coffee are not specifically mentioned in Section 89. The second quote is concerning drugs and its place in the Word of Wisdom.
Here is the PDF of the presentation on the Learning Assessment I gave on Saturday. I hope it helps alleviate fears about giving it. Remember to talk to your coordinator about questions you have. I am also linking FORM A of the Learning Assessment. Most of the information from my presentation comes from the instructions in the form. Find out from your coordinator if you are to use FORM A or FORM B. I will post stuff from my D&C 121-123 presentation later as we get closer to those sections.
Here is a worksheet that will help your class discover the principles in Doctrine & Covenants 82-83. The last question is extra and helps your class review and think back over the year and what blessed them. Since so many teachers ask for a key, here you go. The verses referred to in order are: 1, 3, 7, 10, 17, 18, 19, 22-23, and 83:3, 83:4-5. Going over it as a class and having them justify what in that verse answers the question is the most important part of the worksheet.
Hello Friends, The 2015 New Year is almost here; a time we all reflect on how to be a little better and more Christ like. With that in mind, I have started a blog called “Today’s Recharge” where each weekday I post a quick powerful thought from the scriptures (mostly D&C right now) to help re-energize a person’s mind and spirit. You can think of it as nourishment from the scriptures to help us be the men and women of God we were meant to be. They are mostly insights from the Institute class I teach each week. It’s made so that each morning you’ll get an email with a scripture and short recharging message to help you be the person you want to be. I want to invite you to go to http://todaysrecharge.blogspot.com and see some of those short posts. Also, please enter your email on the right side of the page. That way the new weekday posts will go automatically to your email. I hope this can be a bit of strength to you as you start out this New Year. Thanks John Bushman Here are the other half of the Scripture Mastery Word pictures for the D&C by Brother James Fullmer. As I mentioned before, to help your students memorize, you have probably already used fill in the blanks, and first letters of each word. Brother James Fullmer shared with me how word images can help your students in a similar manner. Rather than me explain it, open and save the two attachments below. If you click on the “Scripture Mastery” tab on the website, and then click on the “D&C Scripture Mastery” tab, you will see the other half that was shared earlier this year. There is only half of the JS-H 1:15-20 but that took three pages. Thanks for sharing Brother Fullmer.
