Subject: [Teachldsseminary] Teach: Questions for JSH SM

I just found these questions about the SM of JSH, in a Handout from the CES
conference in 2002 (the DC section). There are about 61 handouts that you
can find online at www.ldsces.org. You first have to sign in at
http://www.ldsces.org/teachers/Employee%20Login.asp with the username and
password. 

Then go to SITE MAP, on top of your screen. Then scroll down to OTHERS and
then click on CES conference, and go to Teaching Helpsa nd to Course
Contents. You will find several pdf files with some great ideas, background
information and this is just one of them.
