Resources for teaching standards

There's a new download available on the youth.lds.org standards page. It's a set of one page, simple outlines for leading discussions on the standards in For the Strength of Youth.

 Each page includes four sections:

• Talks and Articles - the latest best talks on the topic
• Words of Living Prophets - one or more recent quotes
• Scripture - a foundational scripture reference
• Discussion - a series of very good, thought provoking questions
• Videos - links to the best media on the topic

This is a amazingly useful (kind of hidden) resource. It's perfect for camp, standards nights, bishop's discussions, mutual nights, talks - and more and more. And what a great family home evening resource!

You can find the downloadable pdf here. Add it to your phone or tablet for an at-your-fingertips resource on standards.

Leading in the Savior's Way

Short, discussion-based leadership lessons are available to help young women develop and practice leadership skills. Ideally young women can teach one another in class presidency meetings or other training settings.

Each lesson includes leadership examples from the life of the Savior, "Learn Together" activities,  suggestions to "Live What We Are Learning" and links to media.

These are valuable resources!

Come Follow Me Podcast

Do you struggle with sharing media in the classroom?

Here is one of the easiest ways to get media content from the youth curriculum unto your laptop or mobile device.

If you have iTunes, just subscribe to the Come Follow Me: Learning Resources for Youth Podcast.

Then with one click (or touch) you can download the videos.

If you've never heard of iTunes or Podcasts - get your young women to help :)

Is Prom coming up?

If so, the LDS Media Talk blog has collected some great resources on dress standards and ideas - take a look!

New "Teaching Videos" for Come Follow Me Youth Curriculum

Did you know?

There are 23 new(ish) teaching videos on the Come Follow Me website.

They show teachers and learners in actual classrooms participating in many of the suggested learning experiences from Come Follow Me.

They are short (1 1/2 to 2 minutes), easily downloaded, and ideal for teacher and learner training.

We've learned about the new approach to learning, now we get to see what it looks like in action.

They are extremely helpful!

General Conference Wordles

How fun is this!

I just created a 'wordle' (word cloud) from Sister Elaine Dalton's General Young Women Meeting talk, "Be Not Moved!"  In the colors of the choir, of course.

I got the idea from a Keepapitchinin blog post showing wordles for the recent General Conference and General Young Women Meeting talks. Word size reflects frequency of usage so you can instantly see what was emphasized.

Here's a wordle of Sister Dalton's General Conference talk, "We are Daughters of our Heavenly Father."

Why not show a few of these to your young women and see if they can guess the talk? Or better yet - invite them to make a wordle of their favorite talk and share it with in Young Women class on Sunday.

You can go to wordle.net to try making your own word clouds.
