Abstract

Now, we know this chapter is about a setting without animals, but to get to where we need to be, first we need to imagine a classroom where the calming presence of a golden retriever helps learners regulate their emotions, or where the curiosity sparked by a tortoise&s;s slow crawl or a snake&s;s slow slithering leads to a rich discussion about biology, patience and empathy. What is it that you’re trying to achieve? Remember your objectives?
