Sweet Time

“The NVIV (Next Vista Inspiring Video) series of posts are written by Rushton Hurley and designed to provide students and teachers with fascinating discussion prompts.”

In Sweet Time. Rushton features jelly beans and how they symbolize different activities in your life.

Rushton gives the following prompts to accompany this video:

“Take a guess at how much time you spend each week on the set of 6-10 activities that you do most, and arrange those activities by the amount of time you spend with them.

If you were to take those same activities and rank them in order of how important you think they are, would the two lists match up? Should they?

What would be a clever way to spend more time on what’s important? Would you need to trick yourself in some way?”

I like the visual representation of how each day is represented by a jelly bean. I think students would gain a new perspective by watching this video.

Please check out the video and think of other prompts you might come up with. Please share.
