[Teachldsseminary] TEACH: Leviticus 25

[Mary E Anderson]

I shared this more as a lesson to myself but can appreciate your
experience too.   It just really hit me when I read some of the
laws that they weren't becoming and when you use outside sources
you really have to sift and sort and be very careful.

This is exactly why you need to pray about your classes and what
is best for your class.  I had prepared my lesson yesterday but
it seemed flat and something was missing.  I prayed about how to
get my students into the laws of Leviticus and lose that blank
stare I had on Monday. This idea came and I looked into it,
shared it and it worked great for my class.  

I spent about only 2 minutes on some funny laws (in our own
county it's against the law to eat watermelon in a cemetery) and
we  talked about the various cultures of the time and how there
was probably a very good reason for it.  They got interested from
then on as we highlighted several laws and customs found in
Leviticus (from the manual) and had a great discussion.

Even our CES instructor gives us ways to introduce and enhance
lessons from the manual for various approaches to lessons which
is what this group also does!  I see nothing wrong with that as
long as you pray about it as you prepare your lessons.

It became clear to me again the wisdom of using only CES approved
material in our Seminary Classes.  I went to the dumblaws.com
website for my state - MN and it had on it some laws that would
not do anything to edify my student.  I am glad I viewed it
myself before suggesting the website or it or using it in class.

Great talk on Jubilee  applying it  to our day.  It that can be
downloaded from the church's website and let them listen to it
from online:

 

A Year of Jubilee Elder L. Tom Perry  Of the Quorum of the Twelve
Apostles 

 General Conference, October 1999

 

Also, when you talk about Leviticus and all of the laws, some of
the youth may think some of these laws are dumb.  One morning to
introduce something could be going to this website:
www.dumblaws.com  to see strange laws from your own state and
discussing how they seem different to us today but were important
when they were put on the books in the time period and culture.
