Marci Poe outlined a 5-day lesson plan for her 18 first grade students to learn about the five senses. Over the course of the week, the students will use various media like videos, songs, poems and interactive activities to learn about sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste. They will discuss and demonstrate their understanding of each sense through projects like creating videos, photos, poems and participating in taste tests. By the end of the lesson, the students will create a class "Senses Anchor Chart" and should be able to distinguish the five senses and their importance with 90% accuracy.

My 18 First Grade students, 12 Caucasian and 6
African American, will distinguish the differences
of the five senses and their importance by making
a Senses Anchor Chart with knowledge from a
movie, class discussions, a song, and testing their
own senses with real objects by the end of the
week with 90% accuracy.

4. 
Day 1: A song about the 5 senses will be taught
on this day then we will begin with sight. Students
will interact with a WebQuest on sight then we will
have a class discussion about what they learned.
They will then create an interactive poster to be
used and shared with their classmates and will
end the lesson with I-Spy.

5. 
Day 2: Day 2:Hear. I will teach about hearing.
Students will, in groups, create storytelling videos
about hearing to share with the class. Then they
will continue with group discussion and end the
lesson with the telephone game as a whole class.

6. 
Day 3:Touch. Students will watch a short video
about touch. They will then listen to poems about
“touch” and the lesson will end with a center for
the students to touch different textures I have set
out.

7. 
Day 4:Smell. Students will use Photoshop to
create pictures of smelling in action. They will also
make a QR for their pictures that includes
questions with an answer key about their pictures.
The students will then continue the discussion of
smell by making their own “smell” poems. The
lesson will end with smelling different fragrances I
have set up at a center.

8. Day 5:Taste. Students will listen to a Podcast
about taste. Discussion will begin through a
version of a KWL chart then the lesson will end
with a taste test of different foods brought in.
 We will have a review discussion of all 5 senses
then the students will make their anchor charts.
