Please use the following lesson plans as a suggestion. I wrote them as I might use them if I were teaching a class. As with my other books for children, when I wrote the book, Let's Talk About Peer Pressure, I wrote it as if I were talking directly to the person reading it. It is a teaching tool within itself so that any child or teenager who picks it up will be taught just by reading it. However, most children and teenagers probably won't read it on their own which is why I need adults to help. They need to be spoon-fed the Word of God. Use every opportunity to engage them verbally about the subject. I have used the Living Bible in this book because it is more conversational, but you can use the King James Version also if your school or church prefers that.

Also, when I wrote the book, I wrote it for each child or teenager to have his own copy to take home with him to put on his shelf. Please do not copy the book. It is copyrighted and for one to make copies of it is to break copyright law. That certainly doesn't encourage God's blessings to come. This is my suggestion about each one's book. Write the child or teenager's name in his or her book and write the name of your church or school that presented it to him or her plus write your name. When the course is complete, write something in each child's book, a word of encouragement or whatever God gives you to write. I can assure you that if you take each child before the throne of God, He will tell you exactly what to write. You never know what impact your words will have now or in the future.

My other suggestion is to buy each child a highlighter. Yellow is good. I would designate them for classroom use only so that you can pick them up after each session. Teach them to study. This is why each student needs his/her own book. They need to be able to highlight areas in it to emphasize points.

I have designed a student activity book to accompany this book. You can add to it or take away. It's up to you as the teacher because you know your students' abilities better than I do. Some of the activities may be too hard for some but at least they can try. I am including the answers to the puzzles in your handbook as well as at the end of the activity book. I would only allow them to work on the activity book during class. Then, when the whole course is finished, they can take it home with them. Again, you might reward them in some way for completing the book or reward them as they complete the puzzles in a certain amount of time.

I didn't divide the chapters into specific lessons for specific days. I divided them into the individual chapters, so you will have to determine what you anticipate covering in a particular session since you know how much time you plan to devote to this subject daily until completed. As you go through the lessons, you can incorporate the activities from their activity book as needed, or you can wait until you finish a whole chapter.

You will notice that I don't mention every single paragraph in the books. I point out parts to give particular focus to, but that doesn't mean that the other is to be ignored. They need to read every word and reading aloud is a good way to make sure they do that. If paragraphs are too long for one child to read, divide them.

I pray that what I have written assists you in some way. I believe God will help you in ministering this subject to children. He knows how much they can receive. Also, I believe He will enlarge their capacity to receive so don't be surprised at how much they can ingest and digest.
