Appeal to Senses Anchor Chart

Identify and categorize descriptive words by the sense they appeal to — taste, hearing, smell, sight, or touch.

Recall or infer a missing sensory word using the chart's category and surrounding examples.

Apply a sentence frame to explain how a specific word an author used appeals to a particular sense.

Post the full reference chart as a classroom anchor chart, then use the partially blanked version as independent or partner practice.

Pair the sentence-frame pages with a specific read-aloud text, since the frame asks students to name "the word the Author used" from that text.

Offer the "It reminds me ___" alternative ending for students who find it easier to make a personal connection than to describe what a word "makes them think."

Sensory language identification — students sort descriptive words like perfumed, glistened, and bumpy into the correct sense category.

Word recall and inference — students fill in blanked words on the practice chart using the surrounding category and examples.

Textual analysis via sentence frames — students use a fill-in template to explain which sense an author's word choice appeals to and what it makes them think of.
