Young Women Lesson Idea
"Forgiveness of Self and Others Is A Gift"
I love teaching, especially Children and Teens.
I have Three Areas of Focus when preparing and presenting
a lesson.
Touch the HEART, MIND, and HAND
Touching the Hand means two things:
1) Providing a Hands On Object lesson, and
2) Sending home a tangible reminder of the feelings and
spirit felt while the lesson was being presented.
It is a way to send a piece of the lesson home.
A Handout should not be the focus of the lesson,
yet a reinforcement and a reminder for the student
to apply the lesson in daily life.
When I concentrate on touching the Heart first,
touching the Mind and Hand flow in a natural way.
Usually, there is a quote or story in the lesson that
gives me an idea for a perfect reinforcement Handout.
Here is the way I touched the HAND after the lesson on
Forgiving Yourself....
(Which, by the way, was an AWESOME
lesson and so needed in our culture!)
This is a box of Movie Candy ( I used candy because Forgivness is SWEET!)
wrapped in this adorable paper from Target.
I loved this Pink and White polka-dot wrapping
paper the moment I saw it. When I got it home and realized that
it is reversible, with Blue and White Polka Dots on back...
I was so excited. Two for the price of one!!!
Some of the Young Women I have taught over the years
recently told me that they keep all the ribbon I have
used on various handouts, gifts, and projects.
They have a special box for the pieces of ribbon from me.
From time to time,I see them wearing the ribbons from me
in their hair. their purses, or around their ankles or wrists.
Wow!
Hopefully, the ribbons are another reinforcement of the
feelings felt during a lesson.
