[Teachldsseminary] TEACH SM: D&C 88 and 89

[ReaJN@aol.com]

We are learning D&C 89 as a rebus.  I wrote the entire scripture  on the 
board, and the students are replacing a couple of words each every  day with a 
picture (for 'commandments', someone drew a picture of the stone  tablets, 
'shall' was replaced with a shell).  While they are drawing, I  keep repeating the 
scripture to get them familiar with it.  Then we repeat  it together a couple 
of times.  We have done this before with some of the  longer ones, and it seems 
to help them.  Some scriptures just wouldn't  work, the words don't lend 
themselves to pictures.  When we have drawn all  we can, usually over 3 days, I 
erase those words that are left leaving the first  letter.  Then I erase a big X 
through the middle, then a +, and we just  keep repeating it!  
 
For D&C 88, I found pictures of Garfield and Odie on the internet with  a 
google search that fit the phrases (for example, there was a picture of them  
caroling that I used for impart one to another as the gospel  requires).   I put 
the words on the top of the paper with the  picture; over the next few days, I 
replaced the words with first  letters, then a blank paper, then we did it 
without anything.
