I want my students to associate Paul's counsel to the Philippians with Article of Faith 13.
I sent my students on a "Treasure Hunt" to students seek the virtues that taught by Paul and in Article of Faith. (Honest, True, Chaste, Benevolent, Virtuous, Doing GOOD to all men, virtuous, praiseworthy, lovely, good report)
They were divided into color-coded teams (see photos below) and had to go around the building seeking for the words to fill in the blanks. Each team had 11 words to look for (good report counted as 2 words). When they returned to the classroom, they had to put the words in the correct blanks.
Each team selected one of the virtues we seek after and had to look up a scripture or quote to support that virtue and then explain how we can best seek after than virtue.
I showed the video, "Texting Truth", that reinforced seeking truth and using the recent messages from LDS General Conference.
This was an interactive lesson that created the opportunity for students to get up and move, use foot notes, and "dive in" to their scriptures.
We are at the time in the school year where everyone is tired. Spring Break was very early for us and the months of April and May have very few days off. These "up and moving" days are important to balance out the dark, sleepy mornings.
(and yes, I corrected the spelling of Philippians on the posters pictured below)
