A Triple Win

“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 Gorgeous Gondolas, Rushton features a family’s gondola-making business.

He gives the following prompts to accompany this video:

“Are there things made in your community or region that are hard or impossible to find elsewhere? How much do you know about them, if so?

Every community has its special stories. In Venice, the work of the Tramontin family is such a story. What’s a special story in your family?”


This story reminds me of things that are made special in my city. Greenville, SC used to be where Pepto Bismol was made for twenty years. Dukes mayonnaise was created in 1917 in Greenville, SC.

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