Suggestion for Teaching

Teaching, No Greater Call The lesson for this week provides this suggestion for teaching: "Stories can illustrate gospel principles and keep class members' attention as few other teaching methods can. Jesus often used stories to teach important lessons or clarify abstract ideas. As you prepare your lessons, consider how you could use stories to help class members understand gospel principles. When you tell a story, be sure class members understand whether it is a true account or a fictional story you have created to make a point (see Teaching, No Greater Call [36123], pages 179–182)" (lesson manual, page 35).
