Instructional Objectives
After reading about the five senses in My Five Senses Big Book by Aliki, and
watching a video on sight, students will take pictures of objects around the school
with an iPad. The students will choose 10 of their favorite objects, draw each of
them, and write why they chose those objects. A drawing for each photo will then
be chosen by the students to be a part of the class sight collage.

person experience to construct drawings of objects that were photographed.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.1.4 - Describe people, places, things, and events with
relevant details, expressing ideas and feelings clearly.

Strategies
Follow-up

the photos are located where they are, throughout the school.
