Teaching procedures
Step 1 Lead-in (Pictures 1-3)
Lead in the five senses by asking the students their life experiences.
The five senses are:
The sense of sight, the sense of hearing, the sense of taste, the sense of smell and the sense of touch.
They enable us to know the world around us.

A. Ask the students the following question and then have a discussion. They are all expected to be involved in the discussion, practice their spoken English, and share their opinions with each other.
Question: Why are people misled by their own eyes?
B. After the discussion the teacher draw the conclusion that
Because the background or other lines confuse the eyes.
Also, what we expect to see can change what we see.
Actually, it is more the brain that is confused than the eyes.
C. Remind the students that no matter how our eyes may cheat us, we do need our eyes as well as other senses. So we should protect our senses. We can see that health is very important in our life and good senses also improve our life quality. Maybe the best wayto avoid being cheated by our senses is that we sense, meanwhile, we think.
