[Teachldsseminary] Question on memorization of JSH

[briannimer@aol.com]

I, too, passed off this SM to my class (using the first letter cards) earlier in the year.  Believe me, it took a lot of effort.  I was found with my SM cards while riding in the car, walking the golf course while my husband played golf, waiting at doctor's appointments.  I have challenged my students to memorize this one, using the first letter cards, and assured them that it would take a lot of time and effort, but I bore testimony to them that it would be worth it.  So far no one has attempted to pass it off.  This discussion has reminded me to challenge them again.  I need to remind them to keep their SM cards with them in their backpacks and pull them out in the car or anytime they have a few minutes of free time.

Tips on Memorizing JS-H 1:15-20
I worked on memorizing this scripture this summer and passed it off to my 
students the first day of Seminary and I challenged the students to do the 
same.  I did have one student who passed it off before Seminary began.  He 
isn't one who has an easy time memorizing.  I require my students to pass 
off the Scripture Masterys' word perfect to their parents the first time so 
the parents will be involved, and any time a week later pass it off to me.
Tips:
*Say the scripture out loud three times every day (hearing yourself repeat 
it helps)
*Visualize it as you say it
*Learn it in phrases
 Other helps are to have the scripture on one side of a paper and the first 
letter on the other side.
Practice saying it with first letter as far as you can then flip over the 
paper if you need help with a word,  have the students write the first 
letter.  You can memorize one verse at a time then memorize the next adding 
it to the first.
Yes, this scripture is possible but not without effort.  It is very worth 
the effort!
