¡Mira,+Toca,+Huele!

__Summary:__
== Students take a sensory journey into target Spanish speaking countries through learning the language structures and words associated with the 5 senses. The main focus of the unit is to use higher level descriptive words to say how things feel, smell, taste, sound or look. Students will be able to use these skills to identify cultural foods, musical instruments as well as every day items. Students will be able to conduct oral interviews about preference, and likes and dislikes based on their senses. Language structure includes adjective agreement and plurals, present tense verbs and imperatives associated with sense, and interrogative forms of speach. ==

This unit can be done with as many countries as you determine appropriate, or focus on only one. I have purposly left it ambiguous.
== It was a challenge to mirror the Spanish equivalents for the verbs "to feel" ( as in "it feels soft") and "to taste" ( as in "it tastes salty") in an easy way for the students of this language proficiency level. I have therefore chosen to focus on the following language structure: "Toco un cactus. Es espinoso" "Pruebo un... Es....." etc. ==
