100 Scriptures from the Book of Mormon


    • "...It is desirable that our children should learn to memorize important passages; 
      such that will leave a 
strong impression upon their lives; scriptural passages that they 
      will use as their guiding star; 
scriptural passages that will help to form convictions in 
      their minds of right and wrong; scriptural passages 
that will bring conviction to their 
      hearts."

Elder Joseph M. Tanner, April 1901 General Conference







      "I have a vision of thousands of missionaries going into the mission field with hundreds 
      of passages memorized 
from the Book of Mormon so that they might feed the needs of a 
      spiritually famished world."
      
President Ezra Taft Benson, October 1988 General Conference












      Our Favorite Chapters:


      The thought occurred to me:  If we listen to our favorite stories at night before bed,
      pretty soon, we'll have them memorized just because we've listened to them so often!



      1.   3 Nephi 11             Jesus Comes to the Americas

      2.  3 Nephi 17             Jesus and Angels Bless the Children

      3.  Alma 43                 Chief Captain Moroni and Zarahemna

      4.  Alma 32                 Faith like a Seed

      5.  Alma 17–19           Ammon Teaches King Lamoni

      6.  Ether 1–3              The Jaredites and the Boats

      7.  Mosiah 22             Lamanite Guards Made Drunk

      8.  Mosiah 18             Waters of Mormon

      9.  Mosiah 12 & 17    Abinadi's Story

      10.  2 Nephi 31–32    Nephi tells about Christ's Baptism

      11.  1 Nephi 17–18     Nephi Builds a Ship

      12.  1 Nephi 4             Nephi and Laban
















Moroni



Ether 12:6

And now, I, Moroni, would speak somewhat concerning these things; I would show unto the world that faith is things which are hoped for and not seen; wherefore, dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith.


Ether 12:27

And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them.

    HOPE Co-Op 2012-13 Weekly Updates

    Please follow the Syllabus.
    This is just for any additional comments.
    Will be updated as needed.


    10/23/2012

    Hi IEW Class,

    Somehow we got a little ahead.
    We did lesson 6A Yesterday.  (Damocles and the King, Sec 1 RD)

    We will be back on track for the 11/5 lesson, as it was going to cover 2 weeks.  Now it will just be lesson 6B instead of both.

    Schedule:
    10/22  Lesson 6A
    10/29  No class.  Work on vocabulary cards at home.
    11/5    Lesson 6B
    11/12  Lesson 6C  (Back on Schedule)

    Reminder- there is no class next week on 10/29.
    Make this the day to put together your vocabulary cards.
    Find the vocabulary list in the Teacher Book for All Things Fun and Fanciful.
    Get a pack of Notecards.
    Photo copy the vocab word and definition, and glue the word on one side, and the definition on the other.  (or have them write it down.)
    In one hour, you should be able to get the entire year vocab words done... ready to study.

    Also, everyone is doing great on their papers.
    I tried to hand back everyone's papers so they could see how they were doing.
    Please make your best effort to mark your own papers... (underline the dressups, and label in the right margin.)  Mark your sentence starters in the left margin.  I have a sample of how to do this on my blog.

    Thanks for all your great effort!

    Ms. Candi

    So, our first class went great!

    English Grammar and IEW Helpful Printouts

    English Grammar & IEW


    Helpful Add-ons to print out.

    These two 8 1/2 x 11 pages I made are to help memorizing sentence structures.
    It can go along with CC Essentials, as well as IEW (Institute for Excellence in Writing).




    Click to enlarge:  IEW Sample Paper.  (8 1/2 x 11) 

    IEW Sample Paper:
    1.  Dress-ups are listed on the right.
    2.  Sentence Starters are listed on the left.
    3.  Each paragraph: Topic Sentence and Clincher reflection words highlighted.
    4.  Not shown:  Introduce Subject (1st line of paper) and Final Clincher (last line of paper) reflection words in Bold.
    5.  Nice to have:  Highlight your Final Clincher and Title reflection words.  Not shown above.

    I still haven't figured out how they did this on the computer with the dress-ups and starters in the margins.  We just underline and highlight on the computer, and then add the notes in the margins by hand.
