“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 What We Don’t See, Rushton features Joseph, a boy who lives in an orphanage and really wants a yellow Umbrella.
Rushton gives the following prompts to accompany this video:
“Can you imagine what happened that may have led the father to bring the boy to the house in the story? Is the father’s story another one that people may not see when they look at him?”
What a heartbreaking and heartwarming story! I think a lot of students would be able to relate to this story. I also think it would open up a lot of great discussions for those who may have felt the same way or want to share their own story. These students might not treasure a yellow umbrella but might want to share about something else that has a special meaning to them.
Please check out the video and think of other prompts you might come up with. Please share.
