#87. Methods of Lesson Work.#--The Workers' Meeting is not a Bible class. To conduct it as one will usually kill it. A good Workers' Meeting presupposes previous preparation of the lesson on the part of the teachers. They do not come there to study the lesson. Other things being equal, that Workers' Meeting is the best which, under wise leadership, has the largest number of participants. It should be conducted on the catechetical rather than the lecture plan. The method of presenting the lesson should have more consideration than the subject-matter. The "Angle Method" of conducting the lesson periods of a Workers' Meeting is very popular, and is explained by the following, which may be printed on cards, and handed a week in advance to ten persons, each of whom is asked to be prepared on a given "Angle." #Angle No. 1--Approach.# Give subject of last lesson, brief intervening history, time, place, and circumstances leading to this lesson. Let the lesson text be read at this point. #Angle No. 2--The Lesson Story.# Give the lesson story in your own words. #Angle No. 3--Analysis.# Give one or more simple working outlines for studying and teaching this lesson. Use the blackboard if convenient. #Angle No. 4--Biography.# Give the names of persons, classes, and nations mentioned or referred to in the lesson. #Angle No. 5--Orientalisms.# Give any Oriental customs or manners peculiar to this lesson. #Angle No. 6--Central Truth.# Give the central truth of the lesson and your reason for its choice. #Angle No. 7--First Step.# Give a good way to introduce this lesson so as to secure attention from the start. #Angle No. 8--Primary.# Give the features of this lesson which are best adapted to small children. #Angle No. 9--Illustrations.# Give a few incidents or facts that will serve as illustrations. #Angle No. 10--Practical Lessons.# Give the most practical lessons in personally applying the truths of this lesson. The leader should be prepared on all the "Angles," so that he can take the place of any one who is absent.
