For a low tech version, participants can write or draw their visions.</li> <li>Participants are encouraged to choose their own labels for each box. They can even choose specific people in their lives if they have distinct views of Israel (i.e. a certain member of their family or friend, a group of students at school, etc.). Below are examples:</li> </ol><ul class="rteindent1"><li>What my parents think it's like.</li> <li>What my friends think it's like.</li> <li>What the media thinks it's like.</li> <li>What my grandparents think it's like.</li> <li>What my rabbi thinks it's like.</li> <li>What my teacher thinks it's like.</li> </ul><ol start="4"><li>Included in each meme should be "What I think it's like" and "What it's really like."</li> <li>Allow them to choose the photographs that work with each heading.</li> </ol></div></div></section><section class="field field-name-field-activity-variations field-type-text-long field-label-above view-mode-rss"><h2 class="field-label">Variations:&nbsp;</h2><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><ol><li>This activity is great for staff week as a way of reminding the staff that when we say Israel, we "see" many different things and receive many different contradictory messages.
