Purpose for Listening

Ask students to identify the main topic, or idea, of the lesson. Tell

students that this is the second time they will hear this read-aloud, but

about the sense of taste.

By the end of the lesson, students should be able to:

 Describe the sense of taste

 Identify the parts of the mouth

 Provide simple explanations about how the tongue works
