How do live lessons work?

Live lessons are interactive slides and course outlines that are used to teach Treeway Live Classes. Click on the arrows to navigate backward and forwards through the slides.

How Do I Use the Lesson Plans?

Read this lesson plan before class to familiarize yourself with the ideas and concepts you’ll be teaching the students. You may print this page out if you need to use it as a reference point during live classes.

This lesson is a guide, but feel free to expand on the content or decrease/increase what you teach depending on the learning levels of the students in your class or the amount of time you have to cover the material.

Can I show videos in live classes?

Yes, feel free to include additional material to supplement the class lesson material. Videos, Physical Objects, Games, Activities, etc. are okay to share in live classes.

Videos should have no advertisements or logos and should be viewed by you before showing them to the students to ensure no offensive or questionable content is included.

The video should make up only a small portion of the live class.

How do bookmarks work?

Bookmarks help you keep track of lessons you’re going to teach in future live classes. The bookmarks you see are for all your bookmarked lessons across all grades.

You can bookmark a lesson by visiting the lesson you want to bookmark and clicking the “bookmark” button in the bookmark section.

You can remove a single bookmark by visiting a lesson you’ve bookmarked and clicking the “bookmark” button again to unbookmark it.

You can clear all of your bookmarks by clicking the “clear all bookmarks” button. Be careful, this will erase all of your bookmarks.

Lesson Slide

1G22 – People Need Laws

Main Teaching Points

  • Explain:  Everyone has to follow rules. Rules tell you what you can and cannot do. A law is a rule that people have to follow when they live in a country. Laws shape the country and affect our daily lives.
  • Explain:  There are different types of laws in a country. Like food laws that keep our food safe. For example, one food law says that all food has to have a label on it. The label tells the ingredients. Ingredients are what’s in the food. Being able to read the ingredients on a label can help people with allergies avoid foods that make them sick. People make laws because they want to make the community clean and safe.
  • Explain:  The bible has laws too. We follow Jehovah’s laws because we love him and we want to be happy. For example, the bible tells us to be clean. When we follow this law it keeps us from getting sick.
