Start and Stop Timecode: 7:59–8:34

Using This Video

You could show this video segment when you arrive at the part of the lesson that states:

“Invite a student to read Alma 11:21–22 aloud. Ask the class to follow along, looking for what Zeezrom offered Amulek, and for what reason.”

Instead of inviting a student to read, you might display these questions from the teacher material:

• “What did Zeezrom try to persuade Amulek to do?”

• “What did Zeezrom offer Amulek if he would ‘deny the existence of a Supreme Being’?”

Invite students to watch this portion of the episode, looking for the answers to the displayed questions. After showing the video, ask students to share their answers to the questions. As they share, encourage students to mark in Alma 11:21–22 the answers to the questions. Then proceed with the lesson as outlined in the teacher material.

Instead of inviting two students to take turns reading aloud from Alma 11:26–35, ask students to watch the video segment, looking for the way that Zeezrom tried to twist Amulek’s words.
