Reviewing the Read-Aloud 10 minutes


Five Senses Review
 Show image 1A-1: Five photos demonstrating senses


  • Invite students to come up to the image one at a time, point to a
    picture, and say the sense and its associated body part: sight (eyes),
    hearing (ears), taste (tongue), smell (nose), and touch (skin/hands).

  • Then use Image Cards 1–5 to review each of the senses. Alternatively,
    you may have students use the Response Cards for The Five Senses
    to answer questions. As you show each Image Card, ask: “What body
    part is this and how do you use it?”


What Have We Learned?



  • Remind students that they are learning about the sense of taste. Have
    students say sense of taste while pointing to their tongue.

  • Tell students to discuss with their partners how they can identify—
    or know—the flavors of the food they eat. Allow thirty seconds for
    students to talk. Encourage students to use the words taste buds,
    chew, taste, smell, and brain.
    The Five Senses Chart

  • Give each student a copy of Instructional Master 4C-1. Instruct
    them to draw or find pictures from Instructional Master 1C-2 or from
    magazines to cut and paste onto their chart.

  • Prompt students by asking: “Which body parts are used for the sense
    of taste? What can you do with the sense of taste?”

  • After students have finished filling in the chart for the sense of taste,
    have them discuss with their partner or home-language peers what
    they put onto their chart.


Making Connections



  • Have students share with their partner if they know how to say tongue
    in a different language.
