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.

Class Summary

Lesson Slide

1G9/1G10 – Maps

Main Teaching Points

Show: a photo of a map. Ask students if they know what it’s called and what it’s for.
Explain: that a map is a drawing that shows where places are. We use maps when we travel so that we don’t get lost.
Draw or show: a street map. Use it to prompt the students to practice reading maps.
Show: a dictionary or a photo of one. Ask students if they know what we use this book for.
Explain: a dictionary is a book that gives the meanings of words. We can use a dictionary when we read the bible and study so that we understand all of the words and learn about Jehovah better. Prompt the students to practice reading dictionary definitions.

Discussion Questions

What is this called? (map)
What do we use maps for?
Look at the map. How do we get from the pet store to the grocery store? What streets do we turn on?
What is a dictionary?

In-Class Activities

Practice going to the Kingdom Hall: Encourage students and parents to use Google maps or OpenStreetMap to practice using a map to get to the kingdom hall.
Learn a new word: Encourage students to use the dictionary to learn a new word from the weekly bible. They can learn the definition in the dictionary and write a sentence using the word and even draw a picture if appropriate. Photos of the results can be shared in the Grade 1 Class Group for other students to see.
