Annotating Scriptures
Help students see the importance of annotating scriptures to remember personal messages from Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.
Teach from the manual first

New Testament Seminary Teacher Manual (2027). Follow your coordinator’s pacing guide.
Open class
Remember
The manual’s “Remember” board, on phones, with a 30-second timer.
Review
Mark it, note it
Students vote on the phrase they’d mark in four doctrinal mastery passages, then post a margin note.
Send home
Mark one thing a day
Send this to your class chat after the lesson. Students and parents can open the story and resources at home, alone or with family.
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”Matthew 11:28
Ask: What did you mark this week, and why did it matter to you?
Try: Each day this week, mark one phrase and add one note, on paper or in Gospel Library (Help › Annotate).
