lesson discussion with the class. Good planning
requires, however, that we have a set of pivotal questions thought out
and set down for our guidance; and also suggestions for illustrations
and applications under the various topics. If expression work is to be
used, this should be noted in its proper place, and provision made for
carrying it out. In planning for older classes, reference should be made
in the plan to special assignments to be made in books, magazines or any
other material.

Provision should be made in the plan for a summary at the end of the
lesson period, and for the making of the final impression which the
class are to carry away with them. Nor must the assignment of the next
lesson be forgotten. Probably no small proportion of the characteristic
failure of pupils to prepare their lessons comes from lack of definite
assignments showing the child just what he is expected to do, and how to
do it.

Details of a typical lesson plan.--Let us suppose that we are to teach
the lesson of obedience from the story of Adam and Eve to children of
early primary age. Our _Lesson Plan_ might be something as follows:

I. _The Aim or Purpose of the Lesson_--OBEDIENCE.

1. Knowledge or information to be given the class--
a. Of the Bible story itself.
b. Of the fact that God requires obedience.
c. That disobedience brings sorrow and punishment.
d. That children owe obedience to parents and teachers.

2. Attitudes, and feeling response to be sought.
a. Interest in and liking for the Bible story.
b. Appreciation of God's many gifts to his children.
c. Desire to please God with obedience.
d. Sorrow for acts of disobedience.
e. Respect for authority of home, school and law.

3. Applications to the child's life and conduct.
a. Acts of obedience to God in being kind, cheerful, and helpful to
others.
b. Cheerful obedience in home and school with no lagging nor ill
nature.
c. Prayer for forgiveness for any act of disobedience.

II. _Material or Subject Matter to be Presented._

1. The story of Adam and Eve in the Garden.
The version of the story is important. The original from the Bible
is too difficult. If the lesson material does not offer the story
in satisfactory form, go to one of the many books of Bible stories
and find a rendering suited to your class. Be able to tell the
story well.

2. Pictures of Adam and Eve in the
