What methods do you use to accomplish your objectives?
1. Prayer - Truly
more than a mere tool, prayer is essential in recognizing where all truth comes
from and for asking God's blessing upon the class to open minds, increase
understanding of each other and the principles, and allow for a measure of
peace and tolerance to bless the environment.
2. Scriptures- Each mentor is encouraged to tie their lesson into at least one scripture to show the connection of the person and principle with God's word.

3. Devotionals – Youth and parents rotate
and share a spiritual message each week.
4. 4-R method: Reason, Research, Record, and Relate. We use this in class and in the inspirements that we write. It teaches us to find and personalize the truth that we study.
5. Word Study: A tool for deeper understanding of principles and exactness in language. Students take a word and study it in depth using different resources that include the 1828 dictionary and the scriptures.
6. Good questions: We encourage our mentors to ask thought provoking questions and to not be afraid of silence as the youth search for answers. We also encourage the youth to learn to ask these questions of one another.

7. TOME - A binder used to keep a record
of what has been learned. Students take notes, draw, write "ah-has",
keep handouts, or other ideas they would like to use to keep a record.
8. Reflection book (part of 4R method) - During class the youth are invited to reflect and also to consider how they can apply what they have learned

9. Timeline - When a new event or person
is introduced in class, students are invited to note them on their timeline
with some key points to remember. They will begin to see God's hand in the
unfolding of history.
10. Newsletter – A monthly letter that lists
the inspirements for the month week by week. It also has a message from the
adult and youth leadership.
11. Vanguard Newspaper – a monthly
newspaper with writing submitted by the youth including poems, riddles,
puzzles, short stories, experiences and “ah-has.”
12. Memorization – we memorize a scripture
and a poem each month that relates to our monthly principle. We also do weekly
memorization for the skills necessary at the journeyman level.
13. Ah-has! - A time each week where
youth can share connections or epiphanies from previous studies.
