II. _Material or Subject Matter to be Presented._
1. The story of Adam and Eve in the Garden.
The version of the story is important. The original from the Bible
is too difficult. If the lesson material does not offer the story
in satisfactory form, go to one of the many books of Bible stories
and find a rendering suited to your class. Be able to tell the
story well.
2. Pictures of Adam and Eve in the Garden.
Be sure the picture is interesting, well executed, and that it
shows attractive and beautiful things.
3. Prayer on obedience.
The prayer to be brief and simple, asking God to help each one to
obey him and to obey father and mother, and to forgive us when we
do not obey.
4. Music.
If possible, the music may correlate with the thought of the
lesson. If not, let it be devotional and adapted to the children
in words and melody.
5. Handwork or other form of expression material.
Cutting and pasting pictures in notebooks; coloring, or other such
work, to be done either in the classroom or at home.
III. _Mode of Procedure--the Presentation, or Instruction._
1. Greetings to the class--opening prayer and
song.
2. Introduction of the lesson and telling of the
story.
3. Discussion, questions and illustrations to reveal:
a. The many beautiful gifts which God had given Adam and Eve, and
which he gives us.
b. How Adam and Eve were allowed to have everything except just
_one_ thing among many. Application of this thought to child's life
at home, etc.
c. How Adam and Eve yielded to temptation and disobeyed. Practical
application to child's life.
d. How Adam and Eve felt ashamed and guilty after they had disobeyed
God, and how they tried to hide from him. This can be made very real
to children.
e. How punishment follows disobedience.
f. Why we must ask for forgiveness when we have been disobedient.
4. Summary, or brief restatement of chief impressions to carry away,
and of applications to be made in the week ahead by the children
themselves.
5. Closing prayer and song.
Adapting the lesson plan to its uses.--It is, of course, evident that
lesson plans can be made of all degrees of complexity and completeness.
With a little practice the teacher can easily decide the kind of plan
that best suits himself and his particular grade of work. On the one
hand, the plan should not be so detailed as to become burdensome to
follow in the lesson hour. On the other hand, it should not be so brief
and sketchy as not to bring out the significant elements of the lesson.
Different grades of pupils and different subjects will require different
lesson plans. It is probable, however, that the three major heads of
"Aims," "Material," and "Mode of Procedure" will prove serviceable in
all plan making. While the teacher should have his _plan book_ at hand
in the recitation, he must not become its slave, nor allow its use to
kill spontaneity and responsiveness in his teaching. Both the subject
matter and the day's plan should be so well mastered that no more than
an occasional glance at the details in the plan book will be required.
Nothing must be allowed to come between the teacher's best personality
and his class.
1. Have you heard lectures, sermons, or lessons which were
constructed after the haphazard plan? Were they easy to follow and
to remember? Did they develop a line of thought in a successful
way? Do you think that the haphazard type of organization indicates
either lack of preparation or lack of ability?
