Our ward clerk handed out a mini-lesson manual that is exactly what is put online. I like to have something in paper form, too. I taught this week. It worked out wonderfully. I read the material ahead of time, picked out a few teaching suggestions I thought the girls would benefit most from, and went by the Spirit. We had a great discussion and I didn't even have enough time to finish the two activities I had "planned" because of the inspiration to discuss specific things and read certain scriptures. Good luck!

Each Sunday we are directed to advise the girls to study for the next lesson. This blog is a place they can go on their handheld devices and study for the lessons without going to the actual lesson plan and wading through all the teacher's manual items.
Feel free to post it on your blog as a resource for others.

The lessons don't really work that way anymore. They are created for you to study ahead of time, and write down some inspirational things the Holy Ghost directs to you. Then, when you are in the classroom, you would start by asking a question or doing one of the suggestion. Then you continue on by following the mood and direction the students take. You won't be following a lesson outline any longer like in the past. The lesson should be very student centered and not from a paper.
In the past, when you would refer to your lesson for the next part, instead, feel in your heart what the Holy Ghost wants you to say and do next and go with that. Don't worry, it gets easier with practice.

I have been working on an outline with the questions that are posed through the lesson for my Laurel's class. I think of it as a workbook for them to be able to work through during the month and make notes and keep for their records. I think it would really work well for the teacher as well if you are interested let me know and I will upload it. I have four Mutual age kids in my house and they all want a copy of it for them to use on Sunday's as well.

I read your post and I would love to see your "workbooks". Like you, I'd like the girls have a notebook of notes, feelings, inspirations, etc. Thank you!

I would like a copy as well. I was thinking of getting each of the girls a little notebook to keep their notes in, so an outline would go along great as I'm new at this. Thank you , Elise

I would love a copy of your outline as well. It sounds like it might get my very quiet Beehives more involved with the lessons.

I would love to have a copy of your outline. I teach the Beehives and they are so quiet. This new program is great, but trying to get the Beehives to participate and answer questions is not easy. Thanks for all the work you put into the outline. Hopefully this will help the Beehives in my class.
Thanks Debbie

I am loving the new lesson outlines. What I have been doing is reading through the provided material and writing notes on what I want to include and then I am creating a powerpoint with all the quotes and stories and videos I want to include. It makes the lesson go very smoothly and the girls really like the power point format. If you don't have powerpoint or a laptop you can take to church you could still use your notes for a paper outline to give your lesson some structure.




I don't have a mobile device, and I really like to have printed material with me when I teach. I'd love to create pdf's of the lessons, including the talks, 2 columns for readability. Is anyone working on that? Can we collaborate?
