A Feast for the Eyes

DIRECTIONS: When you think of a delicious dinner, can you almost smell it cooking? Can you see it on the table? Does your mouth start to water? You are remembering information that you gathered with your senses.

Use your imagination to describe the objects that you see in the pictures from the Web. What does each object look, smell, sound, taste, and feel like? Be as descriptive as possible, and list as many words in each section as you can.
