Kibbutz  Writing Activity

For this activity you will need a pen and paper.  Please visit the following sites and choose one of the following writing assignments.

1]  Write an imaginary entry in a diary.  Pretend you are a kid who lives on a Kibbutz in the Galil.  Describe one day in your life as a kibbutz member.  Choose your Kibbutz carefully.  Tell what you do from the moment you get up in the morning until you go to bed at night.  Below are some links you may want to visit to collect data for your story.

2]  First write 5 things about living on a Kibbutz that appeal to you and explain them.  Then pretend you are going to live on a Kibbutz in the Galil.  Decide which one would you apply to.  Find out about different Kibbutzim, or other more kibbutzim,  select 2 of them and explain why you they would be your top choice.  Below are some more links you may want to visit to collect data for your story.
 
 

3]  Both a Moshav and a Kibbutz are farming communities. What is similar and what is different between life on a Moshav and life on a Kibbutz?  Indicate 5 similarities and 5 differences.  Then explain which of the two you would prefer to live on and why.
