Animals play a salient role in the development of connecting youth to an understanding of the environment. Students not only find an inherent empathy with animals, they have a curiosity and connection through them. 

​Guided Imagery Tasks: Pretending to be an animal, or plant.


This activity can be adapted to build empathy with any living thing.  Be sure that the story you tell is rich with smells, sounds, sights, textures and feelings. The more familiar you are with the text of the imagery, the more successful this activity will be.
" Yet everything in the curriculum is a product of someone’s hopes, fears, and passions, and part of the trick of engaging children with the knowledge past people have left behind them is to connect with the hopes, fears, and passions that are involved with each topic."

"Images, like stories, performed in traditional oral cultures the crucial social role of aiding memorization."​
