Cut out these shapes and write the words here. This visual aid shows those who were present at the transfiguration. Prepare a large ***board*** and draw a mountainside. As the lesson proceeds place the shapes on one by one.
Look at the jigsaw aid shown below. It says ‘construct in lesson on a base board’. The illustration at top right shows the base board very clearly. You make the jigsaw pieces on paper or card, and place them in position on a sheet of stiff cardboard (or some other material serving the same purpose). Look at p. 47 – ‘Copy this picture on to stiff card’; p. 40 – ‘Copy this board game on to stiff card’; p. 99 – ‘Draw up a board’ – you can see the stiff background board (depicting elements of the ‘unfair Jewish Trial’) standing up, leaning against something (eg placed on a chair and leaning against the back of the chair), and the teacher’s hand placing a pre-prepared ‘separate card’ (depicting an element of ‘the perfectly fair Last Judgement’) on to the board. Exactly the same system is shown for VA13 on p. 229.
Armed with your cardboard sheet, you prepare your classrom. You prepare your semicircle of chairs for the children. If you sit while teaching, you prepare your own chair, and an extra chair, next to or in front of you, on which you will stand your background at the right moment in the lesson. If you stand while teaching, you will need an easel to stand it on, or make the background sheet (board) small enough for you to hold in one hand while teaching.
You copy the shapes shown, enlarging them of course, on white paper. Write the words on the shapes as shown, and colour them appropriately. Cut out the shapes, ready for fixing to the mountain. Then you copy the mountain, much larger than shown of course, onto a sheet of white paper, colour it, and then you stick/glue/tape the mountain onto a sheet of cardboard cut from a packing box from the supermarket. Alternatively, you can draw the mountain straight onto a sheet of white cardboard. (Instead of cardboard, you could use foam board or a variety of other methods. The ‘board’ could be a small whiteboard, small enough to be hand held, and you could draw the mountain on the whiteboard during the lesson, and stick on your pre-prepared shapes using magnets. There are many possible variations – the important thing is to create a suitable background onto which you are going to stick your shapes).
This is a page on the lesson book in which there is a picture, a rectangle in which you can see the mountainside drawn and the shapes with the names on them placed on the picture.
However, I have drawn lots of flannelboard backgrounds. I take a piece of flannel a little bigger than the board and use chalk, crayons, or (usually) markers to draw a hilly horizon, a "Calvary" mountain, a night-time sky, or an interior (temple, simple room, etc.). Then I place my background over the flannelboard. But you may well be right; it may be a markerboard (white board) or chalkboard. I hope Ana has access to the actual visual aids! I wouldn't be able to translate the SS lessons that I have if I couldn't be hands-on with the materials.
A flannelboard could make sense but I'm not so sure because the instruction is to draw a mountainside. I didn't think one could draw on flannelboard. One could make a mountain cut out, but then that isn't drawing.
the figures to be affixed are usually made of paper with a flocked background. Anything rough will do; I've often glued bits of sandpaper or felt to the back of a shape, figure, or picture to make it stick to the flannelboard. Ana, do you have access to the visual aids? Unless you do, I don't see how you can be sure what type of board is intended. Maybe you can pick that up from later context, when the placing of the figures is described?
