5 Senses Unit: Objectives and Lesson Plan

The students of 4th grade had started a project about the five senses with the tutor. For that reason, the English teacher suggested me to design an English unit about this same topic, to refresh some ideas that the pupils had and to introduce some vocabulary and grammar structures in English. That's why I had designed an English unit with these objectives:

• To help students talk about the five senses and name the parts of the body which are involved
• To give some useful information about how our senses work
• To expand students’ vocabulary
• To offer the possibility to discover the properties of some objects by using the five senses
• To develop students’ speaking and listening skills
• To make students consider English a useful language to learn about a topic

Then, I had divided the activities into seven lessons. The first one is an introductory activity. Then, the five next activities are development activities. Finally, the last one, which is a lesson of corners, it is considered a consolidation activity.

Introductory activity:

•        Lesson 1: Introduction of the five senses

Development activities:

•        Lesson 2: What’s that sound? – The hearing sense
•        Lesson 3: Mystery smells – The smell sense
•        Lesson 4: Welcome to the taste museum – The taste sense
•        Lesson 5: Feeling some objects - The touch sense
•        Lesson 6: The sight sense

Consolidation activity:

•        Lesson 7: All senses together
