[Teachldsseminary] TEACH: Lamantation and participation

[Annie Edwards]

As I'm reading different e-mails and stories on LDV about classes singing 
the blues for Lamentations, I'm thinking "what do you guys do that I don't 
do?"  My class would die a thousand deaths before they would sing blues 
songs.  Is it the kids that set the tone for these kinds of things or the 
teacher?

I try really hard to make seminary fun, maybe too much sometimes because 
when I teach a lesson without games, they are almost offended.  So, we do 
get a long and have fun, but they are really quite shy and reserved for the 
most part.  Have some of you blues singing teachers faced this and broken 
them out of it, or is it that you have some strong kids who are fun loving 
and set the tone for the rest of the class?
