Preparing a Home Teaching lesson

[andypg]

Tomorrow I will be giving my first home teaching lesson. Last time (the first time I've ever gone home teaching) my companion taught. Now it is my turn. I know which GC talk I want to do, but have no idea how to prepare for my lesson.

 

Any help on how to prepare a lesson and what to do during the lesson would be great!

Summarize the talk and then tell why or what impressed you the most about it.

While "juding others by yourself" can definitely be taken too far (do observe, adapt, & listen to your audience)...

When I started out teaching, I emulated how I liked to be taught.

This applies in both the classroom setting, and a 1:1 (whether home teaching for church, or training a new employee).

So....Consider your favorite professor or teacher was going to teach you the lesson you're about to teach.

How would they structure it?

What kind of tone would they adopt?

What sort of questions would you like them to ask you / how involved they make you?

Et cetera.

Look at what MAKES them your favorite teacher, and emulate that.

Eventually your own style merges with your applied style, and you've got your own style / it's second nature to set up and organize lessons the way you do.

But until then, borrow from your heroes.

you can also leave the family with a challenge. the most important thing for you to do is pray before you go to the family home and ask for the spirit to be with you that you might know if there's anything special that the family or the individual you're seeing needs. be a friend to them and know that you're on the Lords arrand. you can think of yourself as their

guardian angel. this way how can you go wrong?

Just make a couple of points from the talk....don't take up too much time.....try to get them to make comments
