Courtney White’s newest LDS YW Lesson Handouts are now available! This set is for the YW 3 Manual, lessons 13-24. The photography, as always is stunning and powerful. Someone was asking for them because they will be teaching these lessons soon, and I realized that the YW manuals do not require leaders to teach the lessons in order. They have leeway to select lessons they feel their young women need most at the time. Courtney had the material ready, but there is a lot of preparation involved to make it ready for the web and for downloading. I hurried and got that done and now they are in the store!
All the lessons and handouts are wonderful, but lesson 23 had a lot of posters with wonderful counsel from President Benson about overcoming discouragement, and I decided to try something new. I went through the lesson and put together a PowerPoint Presentation, including the images Courtney prepared, all the scripture quotes, questions to ponder from the lesson, and some extra images of church leaders who are quoted and stories that are included in the lesson. Then I picked out some music from the church music website to go along with the slides. This presentation is included in the product! Even if you do not own PowerPoint, you can view the presentation with the free PowerPoint Viewer available from microsoft.com.
I serve in the nursery, and sometimes I have many big pictures to show during the lesson. So I started putting them in a Powerpoint presentation, adding music and so forth and bringing my laptop to church with me to show during our lesson. The little children loved it! I am sure your young women will also enjoy a change of pace! You can either just show it on your own computer, as I did, or burn it to a CD and show it using the DVD player from the library.
But don’t feel bad if you don’t have or want to show a PowerPoint Presentation! The posters are all included to be printed out, and I also included card size posters you can print out for each girl, and a lovely little mini-folder with pockets that you can put the mini-posters in to give to each girl.
