The Five Senses Graphic Organizer

Purpose:

 To provide a means for students to visually relate descriptions from the novel to each of the five senses: vision, hearing, smell, taste and touch.

Introduction:

Steps for Use with Audio Books:
  1. Show the students an example of the completed Five Senses Graphic Organizer.
  2. Listen to or read the selected text.
  3. When the listening/reading is completed, select one character or scene from the novel to analyze for descriptions that relate to the five senses.
