Application Activity: Basic Paragraph Instructions Write a paragraph in response to the writing prompt. First write the parts of the paragraph in the appropriate order (topic sentence, supporting details, and concluding sentence). Then paste the paragraph parts into one single paragraph. Look at the sample to see how this is done. Writing Prompt Choose a learning strategy from the course and explain why it can help you succeed in PathwayConnect . Sample Paragraph 1. Topic Sentence This should state a single controlling idea for the whole paragraph. “Teach to Learn” is a learning strategy that will help me succeed in Pathway Connect because it will force me to think of more than one way to explain concepts. 2. Supporting Details Support the topic sentence. Use two supporting details from the approved list (i.e. fact, expert testimony, statistics, personal experience). Write complete sentences. An important study conducted by educational psychologist Richard E. Mayer, published in the April 2014 edition of “Contemporary Educational Psychology” supports this important fact. As he noted, “Results indicated that those [students] who prepared to teach (even without actually teaching) outperformed those who prepared for a test on an immediate comprehension test….Overall, these findings are consistent with the idea that the act of teaching (i.e. explaining the material to others in a new way) is important for long-term learning.” I have seen these results prove true in my own life as I have sought to teach others what I know in new ways. For example, last week, I taught my family about repentance. Since there were young children there, I wondered how I could say it so everyone would understand. As a result, I thought of a few examples to make my point. That extra work in my brain created extra connections in my brain. It was the kind of brain growth that we read about when we learned about growth mindset. Now when I think about repentance, I have those connections to help me understand it better. 3. Concluding Sentence This should sum up the supporting details of the paragraph and reinforce the topic sentence. Through the expert testimony of others and my own personal experience, I have learned that as I teach to learn, the efforts I make to help others understand will help me understand too, and that will help me succeed in PathwayConnect.

Writing Prompt Choose a learning strategy from the course and explain why it can help you succeed in PathwayConnect . Write the paragraph parts here 1. Topic Sentence “Recognizing and acting on prompting from the holy ghost” is a learning strategy that will help me succeed in Pathway Connect because it allows to strengthen my relationship with heavenly father . 2. Supporting Details. Support the topic sentence. Use two supporting details from the approved list (i.e. fact, expert testimony, statistics, personal experience). Write complete sentences. Elder Body.K.Packer said, “The voice of the Spirit is described in the scripture as being neither loud nor harsh, it is not a voice of thunder, neither of a great tumultuous noise. But rather a still of the perfect mildness as if it had been a whisper and it can pierce even to the very sad and cause the heart to burn. I remember I had come off of work and decided to take an uber home, before entering the car I heard a voice said to me “tell him it’s going to be okay “ after entering the car I noticed that he looks very sad ,but after told him what the holy spirit whispered to me his face instantly began to glow, I didn’t second guess myself because I knew that came directly from god, I am a very shy person who prefer to speak when spoken to. Oftentimes, we experience spiritual prompting, but we tent to question if it is our own thoughts speaking to us, sometimes heavenly father uses us to speak to other around us. 3. Concluding Sentence. Through my own personal experience, I have learned recognize and act on prompting from the Holy Ghost, as I listen to the voice of the spirit it will help me succeed in Pathway Connect.
