Israel mandates that most all of its citizens serve in the Israeli army upon completing high school. Some of the students have been going through a series of army preparation seminars to introduce them to the process.
I created a small reflection project for students to reflect in English about how they feel about their army service. I asked students from the 10th, 11th, and 12th grade classes to answer one of the following questions and hang their answers on the bulletin board in the hallway.
- How do you feel about going to the army?
- What do you think about teenagers in other countries who don’t have to go to the army?
- Do you agree or disagree that all Israelis must go to the army?
- What are you most excited about in the army?
- What are you least excited about in the army?
- What do you think you will be like after you serve in the army?
- What is your biggest anxiety about serving in the army?
- For girls: What do you think about being a female soldier in the army?
Students have been enjoying reading their classmate's answers and connecting with one another on their shared views. I feel it is so important for students to have outlets to express their views on their army service since it is such a huge part of these students futures and also a very huge obligation for young adults.
Below are samples of student responses.
