I love & admire Emma Smith. Attached is a Google Slide of lesson resources I have used in the past for this section - if you want some additional ideas. In the slides are:
A quiz to introduce Joseph & Emma
The Church videos on Emma broken up into sections. There is also context or questions with some sections. The videos have links embedded or you can find them separately in the files attached.
A Musical Tribute (One of my favourites!) Attached separately.
Emma's Last Blessing
Emma's Last Words
A Summary of D&C 25
I couldn't upload the videos in the Google Slide as it made it too large. However, there is a separate video file if you want to download them and add them to your own copy.
"Live Up to Your Privileges" is a General Conference talk given by Emily Belle Freeman in October 2024. There are some great insights for D&C 25.
I hope these help make the week a very special one for you.

Last Week of Term Idea from Cherie
Note: If you do the idea below, please teach the lessons:
Day 1: D&C 30-36 Parts 1-2 combined
Day 2: D&C 35
Day 3: Being Perfected in Jesus Christ (it's a very special lesson)
Day 4: Review & testimonies (see below)
I like to end this school term with a review and hear testimonies from the students. To do this, I use The Unfair Game and get students to share from their study journals. I prepare the students on Monday about what they will be sharing at the end of the week.
See the attached Google slide for a suggested order. I have also attached the questions sheet we'll use for The Unfair Game. You will need to check the questions to see if your class covered the same content as my team teacher and I did (thanks to my team teacher, Nancy, for helping me with the questions). I hope you enjoy it if you use it.
