The following material supplements the suggested lesson outline. You may want to use this idea as part of the lesson.
To help class members understand and remember the parables in the lesson, display some of the objects described in them. For example, you could show how yeast reacts when combined with water and sugar. You could bake one loaf of bread with yeast and one without yeast, and allow class members to see and taste the difference. You could also show some mustard seed (or ground pepper, which looks like black mustard seed). See Teaching, No Greater Call, pages 163–64, for suggestions on teaching with objects.
