Suggestion for Teaching

The lesson for this week provides this suggestion for teaching: "Elder Boyd K. Packer said: 'No teaching aid surpasses, and few equal, the chalkboard. . . . You can use it to focus the eyes of your students while the main lesson is presented audibly. As you talk, you can put just enough on the board to focus their attention and give them the idea, but never so much that the visual aid itself distracts them and becomes more interesting than your lesson' (Teach Ye Diligently [1975], 224–25; see also Teaching, No Greater Call [36123], pages 162–63)" (lesson manual, page 44).
