Teach

What you pass to others.

Masonry is taught a few sentences at a time, repeated until they live in the mind. Teach is the surface for the older brother's side of that work: preparing the next five-minute talk, prepping the next mentor session, and helping the next brother grow into work that can outlast your own part in it.

You don't need a title to teach. A Brother who's two chapters ahead can prepare a pass-off; an officer brings a five-minute talk to stated meeting; a Past Master walks a candidate through the mentor-manual sections of his degree. The worksheets below are anonymous-friendly; they save to this browser so you can leave and come back.

Talks

Five-minute talk prep

Aristotle's published structure (ethos, pathos, logos) applied to a 5-minute Masonic Education talk. Pair with chapter 69 (Persuasion) and chapter 66 (Active Listening). A talk prepped to this template lands at about 4:30 — leave the buffer.

Mentor sessions

Prep a mentor session

The pre-session worksheet that keeps you off memory. Brother, topic, last session's carry-over, the key questions for this session, materials to bring, follow-ups to track. Pair with chapter 60 (Five Levels) on People Development.

Brother growth

Help the next brother grow into the work

In Masonry, we do not appoint a personal successor to an office. We help brothers grow by noticing their motivations and interests, introducing them to the teachings at a point where they can start well, and giving them real pieces of the work that let habits of learning take root. Use this worksheet for each role or initiative you want to hand on carefully. Pair with chapter 74 (Sustaining Change + Legacy).
