Today we focused on Exodus 21-24 which contains some of the law of Moses. As we started class, we looked at Exodus 23:2 which talks about not following evil. We discussed peer pressure and how one withstands it. We had a class tug of war - one side being the world, the other being not of the world. The world won the tug of war. We then went outside (yes, very cold for those who came in their shorts). A student tied our rope around the tree which was representative of the Savior. We then all tugged and saw that no matter how hard the world pulls, the Savior stands strong, and he will support us.
As we went back into the class, we sat down and a student was volunteered to be our bailiff. She swore everyone in and handed out parts and we had a mock court. The students played the parts of witnesses, attorneys, defendants etc. Cases for picking up sticks - ie working on Sunday and stealing someone's cow were presented and our students deliberated and chose the sentences. Afterwards, we looked up in the scriptures to see what the penalties would be under the law of Moses - which generally involved being stoned to death - starting with the witnesses throwing the first stone.
Tomorrow we will be watching a movie and focusing on the Tabernacle in the wilderness.
