1 Lead Student Lesson Plan L04: 1 Nephi Objectives By the end of the gathering, students will be able to: Learn a study skill and decide how to use it to better understand the scriptures Learn from and teach others gospel principles found in the Book of Mormon through a selected directed study activity Take deliberate action to develop Christ-like attributes Student Preparation Students were asked to prepare for gathering by completing specific activities and/or pondering certain questions. Please refer to the gathering instructions in this week s unit or lesson in the course. Lead Student: Review this lesson plan and prepare the things listed under Lead Student in each activity below. Lesson Outline There will be a Lead Student to lead the Gathering each week. Your role this week is to facilitate the Thursday Gathering using the agenda listed below. The times given for each activity are suggested times. You may need to adjust them depending on your gathering group's size; however, the Gathering should not last more than 60 minutes. Try to make sure that the objectives of the gathering are met each week. OPENING Hymn and Prayer (5 minutes) Learn: Review and Introduction (10 minutes) Opening Hymn: Chosen by the missionaries Opening Prayer: By Invitation Follow-up from previous week: Begin with asking the following question: Is there anyone who would like to share their successes or challenges in applying principles/concepts discussed during last week's gathering? (3 minutes) Discuss this week's content: Next, share with the group what you learned this week as you studied and pondered the week's reading assignment in the scriptures and/or how you applied principles and concepts from the previous week. (2-3 minutes) Ask questions: Prepare a few thoughtful questions which will encourage students to share new insights and thoughts that they gained through their scripture study this week. Break up into pairs if desired and then share with the larger group. (4-5 minutes) 1

2 *HINT*: Consider questions that are open-ended and allow classmates to make connections and to provide support to their answers, etc. Using "what, when, why, or how" questions are great ways to begin. LARGE GROUP ACTIVITY Application and/or demonstration of study skills (10 minutes) Purpose: (Study Skills) The purpose of "doing" leads us to "becoming" the person we can be and the one Heavenly Father needs us to be. Make sure that you create meaningful examples of application in studying the scriptures. Everything in this course is designed to help you and your classmates become strong disciples of the Savior through thoughtful and engaged scripture study. Lead Student: Choose one of the nine study skills listed in the Book of Mormon Study Skills document that has yet to be presented. If all have been presented, then you should choose one that you would like to review. During gathering, take up to 10 minutes to provide a short demonstration on how to personally apply the study skill as well as presenting a reason as to why/how this skill can deepen one's understanding of the scriptures. You can include the audio explanation/example. Be creative! Invite others to share their experiences and examples too. Come up with a few questions to have people share their own experience in using the study skill presented that evening. Remember that you should only spend a total of 10 minutes on this activity so use your time wisely. Encourage the students to practice the items that will be discussed in the gathering this week and to come next week ready to discuss the new insights that they gained. SMALL GROUP ACTIVITY Study Skills Example: Choose a few scriptures that you read this week in which you substituted your name within the scriptures. Read a few of them aloud and ask everyone else to substitute their own name in the appropriate places etc. For the activities below, the class will be divided into small groups of 6-8. Encourage students not to sit with the same people each week, but to have some variety in the groups. The lead student and missionaries should walk around and listen to the discussion, giving input as needed. Application and/or demonstration of concepts and principles with a Directed Study activity (30 minutes) Purpose: (Directed Study) The prepared directed study activities help you to dig deeper in applying and demonstrating learned concepts and principles that are found in the week's scripture readings. Encourage everyone to seek the guidance of the Holy Ghost as they work in groups to complete a selected Directed Study activity found at the end of this lesson plan Lead Student: Review the Directed Study activity at the end of this document. Print copies to bring to the gathering. Or you could have the students pull up this week s lesson plan on their computers and scroll down to the directed study when it s time. Night of Gathering: 2

3 1. Divide the large group into smaller groups so that they can select the Directed Study option that they wish to complete as a group. Remind each group that they will need to choose an option quickly so that they can complete it within 20 minutes. Remind each group that everyone is to have a responsibility in completing the activity. Group members can decide how to divide up the completion of their selected activity, as long as everyone is involved. (5 minutes) 2. For the next 20 minutes, groups will work together to complete their selected Directed Study activity. Once completed, it is important to note that even though groups work together to complete the activity, each member of the group will need to report the completion of the assignment separately to the online instructor through the Gathering Attendance Report in I- Learn. They can include the same information as other group members, as well as providing some personal insight to describe the overall learning experience. 3. Once the 20 minutes has passed, reconvene together as a class and briefly review what everyone discussed. (5 minutes) Possible questions to help you wrap up the experience: How can/does this activity apply to you personally? How can the outlined activity better help you to study the scriptures? How do you plan to apply learned concepts and principles in the upcoming weeks? How does this activity prepare you for becoming a better disciple of Jesus Christ? If you could teach someone else this week one of the principles learned through the outlined activity you chose, what would you share and why? CLOSING Become: Reflection & Call to Action (5 minutes) Bring the class back together for closing. Share your testimony of what you have learned through this activity. Invite everyone to reflect upon what they have learned this evening and consider the following questions: How does their learning this evening affect the person they want to become? Does it affect their Disciple Progress project? How? What action item are they going to perform as a result of the learning this week? Hymn and Prayer (5 minutes) OPTIONAL POST- GATHERING DISCUSSION Remind the class to report their attendance in their Learning Report in I-Learn and invite them to share their learning in their "Post-Gathering Discussion Board" in I-Learn. Closing Hymn: Hymn of your choice Closing Prayer: By Invitation Remind students that if they would like to continue the conversation with their classmates in the online class, they can visit the "On-Going Gathering Discussion Board" as a way to share with their classmates the new insights they gained from attending the gathering. This is not required or graded. Remember: You need to be able to contact each other and stay organized. Use the method that works best for your gathering group (texts, , Facebook, etc.). Note Please download and print a copy of these instructions to use as a reference during Thursday's Pathway Gathering. 3

4 Lesson 04 - Directed Study Focus on particular passages of scripture by selecting an option from those listed below. Complete the related questions and/or activities. Option 1: 1 Nephi 17: Nephi s Ship Part A: In an effort to convince his brothers that God wanted the family to travel to the land of promise, Nephi compared their circumstances to the children of Israel, who left their home and journeyed to a promised land. Study 1 Nephi 17:23 44 and write a paragraph explaining how the children of Israel were similar to Lehi s colony. Part B: Answer the following questions: How do you think remembering the experience of the children of Israel benefited Lehi s group? In what ways do the journeys of both of these groups help you remember and understand the Lord s blessings in your life? Compare what Laman and Lemuel said they knew in 1 Nephi 16:38; 17:19, 22 with what they said they knew in 1 Nephi 17:55. What changed their understanding? Option 2: 1 Nephi 18:9 25. Sailing to the Promised Land After studying 1 Nephi 18, record your answers to the following questions: What lessons do you learn from the attitude Nephi had while he was tied up? What happened in this chapter that fulfills what the Lord prophesied in 1 Nephi 17:13? Option 3: 1 Nephi 19:1 24. Believing in the Redeemer Part A: From 1 Nephi 19:6, identify what Nephi said he was going to include on the small plates of Nephi. Part B: From 1 Nephi 19:7 14, make a list of words and phrases that are meaningful to you in describing the Savior. Part C: From 1 Nephi 19:18, 23 24, record what Nephi said his purpose was in quoting from Isaiah. 4

5 Part D: Write a paragraph describing how the Book of Mormon has helped you more fully...believe in the Lord [your] Redeemer. Option 4: 1 Nephi 20:1 22. Protection for the Righteous Part A: From 1 Nephi 20:10 22, write your answers to the following questions: How can the furnace of affliction mentioned in verse 10 refine us and help us be faithful to the Lord? You may wish to cross- reference this verse with Doctrine and Covenants 105:5 6. Part B: Review 1 Nephi 20:18 22 and explain how the comparisons Isaiah used with a river, waves, sand, and gravel can accurately describe the Lord s promises to the faithful. Why do you think the wicked have no peace? (see D&C 59:23). What did the Lord say He had done for the children of Israel up to that time? Fill in the blank: I feel like the message of 1 Nephi 20 to modern Israel is:. Option 5: 1 Nephi The Scattering and Gathering of Israel Part A: From what you read in each of the following scripture blocks, write a statement about some aspect of the scattering or gathering of Israel: 1 Nephi 21: Nephi 22:1 5 1 Nephi 22:6 12 Part B: Read 1 Nephi 22:11 25 and write a paragraph describing the different ways the Lord makes bare His arm. Part C: Write a paragraph on how knowing what is taught in 1 Nephi helps you find understanding in current and future world events. Part D: According to scripture, there will be some calamities prior to the Second Coming of the Lord (see Joseph Smith Matthew 1:28 33). Read 1 Nephi 22:15 22 and identify the group that need not fear these events and why. Option 6: Points to Ponder What qualities made Nephi someone the Lord could depend on? Why would asking your parents for counsel strengthen your relationship with them and with the Lord? Why is it dangerous to ignore or become past feeling to the promptings of the Holy Ghost? Option 7: Points to Ponder 5

6 Nephi explained in 1 Nephi 19:18 that he wrote to persuade his people to remember the Lord their Redeemer. How can remembering Nephi s reason for writing help you in your personal study of the scriptures? Ponder the meaning of the phrase in 1 Nephi 21:16 that the Savior has graven thee upon the palms of [His] hands. How can this give you confidence that the Lord will always remember you? 6
