Why do we have history-based lessons?

I’m all for remembering our history. It’s the misrepresenting I have problems with.

I agree.

So follow it by quickly summarizing the key points of the history and then talking about how the principles in the accounts relate to modern life. Problem solved! :thumbup:

Yeah, I think that will have to be my approach more. It takes a while to develop a teaching style, but sounds like a good one for me.

I like it when teachers make me think in class, not just read the manuals.

I think there is value in teaching us principles for our day by reviewing history, and then trying to think what I would do in those situations. Or what would Lorenzo Snow do in my situation?

If the history lessons are not making people think about their faith, I don’t think there is value in teaching them.

Good teachers ask more questions and guide the discussion of the class…not stand up there thinking they have all the facts. Even the manuals don’t have all the facts.
