Konrad Lorenz - Bird Imprinting & Dancing
Welcome to the Motivator Map for Educators opportunity for you to teach the great discovery of Konrad Lorenz, emulate the discovery first with imitation and then, don't miss the video connection that will get the whole class dancing. Open the door to learn about imprinting and a round of imitation fun based on the classic book "Are You My Mother?" Share the Konrad Lorenz gallery and then reverse what they are learning. Can humans imitate birds? You will never have another class like it when birds, I mean, participants dance like birds. Superior fun for both young people and adults! NOTE: A second very fun elementary book that also shows "imprinting" is "Mother Bruce" by Ryan T. Higgins.
