Some promised pictures and other sundries

I didn't get to post a picture of the last Big Paper excercise. We did a similar activity today so you can see the results below. Today's lesson was about Hypocrisy as found in Luke 11-13. The attention grabber was a food can apparently containing Cherry Pie filling. As we were to be having waffles for breakfast I had a good reason to get one of the students to open it. I gave him a spoon to have a trial taste. When the tin was opened, lo and behold, Oxtail Soup. (Matt, being a game lad, and also a perpetually hungry one, dived in anyway.) This illustrated the book/cover discrepancy inherent in hypocrites.

Another activity which I tried today was to give pairs of students a scripture reference, or a a couple with a similar message, and allow them to discuss for a few minutes to get the the heart of what was being taught. We then came to order and they found out that the had to present what they had extracted to the rest of the group in a sentence where they take alternate words, a la I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue. (One for the Radio 4 listeners there.) They obviously didn't have time to plan it so it was funny seeing the looks of surprise as their partner's word took the sentence in a direction they hadn't intended. It was a fun activity and I don't think the meanings became *completely* shrouded in the confusion. It was a bit of a gamble doing something untried and untested as we actually had our CES coordinator visiting us this morning.

So - the Wiki. This was done while I read an abridged talk by Elder Joseph B Wirthlin entitled Without Guile.

 

 

 

And finally, for my lovely students, if you are reading. Brother White commented on what a wonderful class I had. I had to agree...Love you guys.
