A Unique Place to Live

In small groups students are asked to create a colony (town, village, farm, kibbutz, city etc) and following guiding lines on cards given them, decide on what their new colony will look like culturally, politically, demographically etc. They will build a model and present it to the class, describing and explaining their decisions.

Who I Am

This activity is similar to Philosophical Chairs.  The students stand next to sayings posted around the room, that reflect most closely who they consider themselves to be, and follow up by discussing their reasoning and motives with each other.
