A Fed Bear

“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 A Fed Bear, Rushton features large grizzlies to test bear-resistant products.

Rushton gives the following prompts to accompany this video:

“The bears in this video were lucky. Can you explain why it usually ends badly for the bear?

Have you ever seen someone do something that they thought would be something kind, but it turned into a kind of problem? How might you lessen the chance that something you do will have harmful unintended consequences?”


Many students don’t think about behaviors and their consequences. This is a great video to bring up this discussion. There are consequences to all of our actions but sometimes we don’t think about the unintended consequences.

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