What was good in 1911 -- and Still Is Today

Check out this delightful 1991 book on how to plan a Sunday School lesson. (Free scanned copy via Google)

Though focused on lessons for children, I think the core ideas are applicable for teaching anyone:

• Our aim is spiritual
• One central thought in the lesson
• Title the lesson to hook their attention
• Connect the truths from the Bible to their lives
• Tell the story well, so they're engaged
• Followup with them outside of class time

It's good to be reminded that new things are not necessarily better, and we're part of a community of teachers stretching back more than 2000 years.
