Evolution of a lesson: complex to simple<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I am teaching an important topic in Young Women tomorrow. I have spent so much time working on it and thinking about it. I read all of the suggested lesson materials, scripture references, and watched a handful of Bible movies. I read General Conference talks with the girls in mind.<\/p>\n

Then I decided that I should anticipate questions they might have. I listed about 30 questions. I chose 22 of those questions and found scripture references to help answer each question. I typed up this list of 22 questions and scriptures to give to the girls. After printing them out and gluing a picture of the Savior on each copy, I finally realized that I had gotten carried away. WHO would take the time read 80 square inches of words in a small font that are only meant to make them THINK?<\/p>\n

Planet Angie felt like a lonely place right then.<\/p>\n

My hours of preparation are now whittled down to asking the girls to consider one<\/span> question of their choice from only five<\/span> possibilities. After the girls have had a chance to read scriptures and other materials about their topic and ponder for a bit, we’ll sit in a circle and share what we have learned and felt.<\/p>\n

And then we’ll talk about how their understanding can influence the choices they make this week.<\/p>\n

I will consider it a success if the girls can remember one thing that we talked about one week later.<\/p>\n
