Watch the video, “Hot Seat.”

After the video, copy these questions on to a Google doc, answer them, and then share with Schachter.

1. Why do you think the rabbit finally acted when it did to solve the problem?

2. Why is it so difficult for the rabbits—or humans—to step up and take responsibility about a shared item in a shared environment?

3. Are you less responsible about items at school (desks, books, bathroom cleanliness) than at home? Why?

4. In your life, when have you been like each of the following rabbits?  Explain each situation.

                  A. Rabbit with the Gold Carrot and two chairs:  Makes sure his/her own comfort is                               taken care of regardless of needs of the group.

B.  Female Rabbit Needing to go to the Bathroom:  Holds on to own possessions regardless of the damage to him/herself 

C. Rabbit Who Replaces his Good Chair for the Bad Chair:  Recognizes that the needs of the group outweigh the needs of the individual
