Master Class: October 23rd, Biesingers 12:30-3 pm


MASTER CLASS 
Wielding the sword of Truth!

Finding Truth in patterns:
1. MATH: Read the first section of chapter 1 and then pick one of the remaining sections of Chapter 1 of “Beginner’s Guide to Constructing the Universe” to read and email Kel to find out which section you can teach to the rest of the group.  (I also have a DVD you can watch of that chapter instead if you would like to borrow it.) Record any cool ah-ha's you have. Bring your compasses if you have some or use the extra ones we have on hand so we can do our "Constructing the Universe" activity!
2.  HEBREW: Watch this clip on Hebrew (1 hour 5 min).  While you are doing this, do the following:
-draw and write down the name of each letter he covers along with a basic meaning, including the review of aleph and bet.
-alongside each one, record any cool comparisons, examples or symbolisms you liked that he mentioned.  
Feel free to doodle and share your doodlings with us as well!

Application of the symbolism of Geology

3. Read this article about a Mormon Geologist and how she found connections between Geology and her life.
4. Read or listen to this speech about "The Spiritual Gems of Life"
OR
read this article about the temple
5. The scriptures make many allusions to valuable minerals (Prov. 31:10–31) and rocks (Matt. 16:18 or Helaman 5:12) because of their great worth or recognized strength.  Make your own analogy in your life to a geological subject or item and bring it to class to share in some way that is meaningful to you. 
6. Come dressed up nicely for our field trip!  We will be visiting the Salt Lake Temple.  We may be doing baptisms for the dead or just taking a tour around, but come prepared. (Please let me know privately if you would like to attend the class but will not have a current temple recommend.) Research what you can about the symbols engraved on the outside of the temple and teach us what you learned as we go there.

We will be talking about what we studied on the way down and back, as well as while we walk around.  We will also be eating our lunches on the way down, leaving right after journeyman.

Identifying truth today!

7. Do your own experiment for truth!  Read an opinion article from the newspaper.  Identify messages in it and then research in the scriptures evidence that supports or discredits the article.
