Using multiple senses and skills can help students memorize. The following activity asks students to draw simple symbols to help them remember the teachings of these doctrinal mastery passages. Pass out four note cards or small sheets of paper for each student to use in this activity. Be sensitive to those who may feel they lack artistic or creative skills. Consider inviting students to work in pairs or small groups.
Illustrate the key phrase
Images and other visual cues can help us remember important information. Think about how using visuals could help you remember scripture references and key phrases.
For the following activity, please select signs or symbols that are familiar to the students.
-
What do the following symbols represent?
The following are examples of doctrinal mastery passages depicted using symbols or images. Look at the images, and see if you can identify a doctrinal mastery passage and its key scripture phrase.
Display the following images. The correct answer for the first image is “1 Corinthians 6:19–20: ‘Your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost.’” The correct answer for the second is “1 Corinthians 15:40–42: In the Resurrection, there are three degrees of glory.”
As students do the following activity, invite them to put each of their illustrations on a separate note card. Look to highlight students’ creativity in their illustrations. This could be done by asking a few students to show one of their cards to the class. This can be a great opportunity to involve students who may be less engaged in class. Alternatively, consider inviting students to draw their example on the board, or, after class, hang up their example in the classroom.
On four different note cards or small sheets of paper, rewrite each of the previously listed doctrinal mastery passages. On the opposite side of each card, create an illustration to help you remember the key phrases. You can draw your own pictures or use visuals such as clip art, emojis, or photos. This activity does not require you to be a skilled artist. Your illustration should be memorable but should not be irreverent or treat sacred topics lightly.
When you finish, use your illustrations to review the key scripture phrases. If possible, explain your illustrations to a friend or family member. Try to remember as much of the key phrase as possible.
Applying key scripture phrases to life
Consider making the following examples a handout or displaying them as examples for the class to see. The correct answers are (1) 1 Corinthians 15:20–22; (2) 1 Corinthians 6:19–20; (3) 1 Corinthians 11:11; (4) 1 Corinthians 15:40–42.
Or create other scenarios that may be more applicable to students’ lives and circumstances.
