Lesson 16

Lesson Title: "Journals"

OTHER RESOURCES:

OBJECTIVE:

Each young woman will learn how to make her journal an interesting and valuable record of her life.

PREPARATION:

  1. Bring paper and pencils for the class members.
  2. Bring several journals for display.
  3. Bring several examples of books that can be used for a journal: a three-ring binder, spiral notebook, bound journal, or diary. Also bring several kinds of pencils and pens.
  4. Optional: Prepare handouts as suggested in the lesson.
  5. Assign young women to present any scriptures, stories, or quotations you wish.

ATTENTION GETTER:

Show the journals on display. Then distribute paper and pencils, and have each young woman write some details about her baptism-when she was baptized, where and by whom, how she felt, and so forth. (Limit this activity to a few minutes.) Although many of the young women may not remember very much about their baptismal day, let those who do share a few of their thoughts with the class.

CONCLUSION:

Explain that careful planning now can make a journal a treasure for many generations. Regular, thoughtful attention can make it a book of tremendous worth. And when we keep a record of our lives, we can have the peaceful feeling that comes from obeying the Lord's commandments
