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

it is different from the first time because they will do most of the talking

about their ears and the sense of sound.

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

 Provide simple explanations about how the ear works

 Describe some ways people take care of their bodies

 Describe how the sense of hearing helps people learn about their

world

 Describe some ways the sense of hearing protects people from harm
