The Five Senses | Period 1 | Friday | August 13
Unlike last week, Fraser was in class today. He looked a little abashed about missing last week and a little stressed about other things but he was there.
"Good morning. I'd like to apologize for my absence last week though I think most of us had other things on our minds," he started, nodding. "I hope you all are all right, unscathed or, otherwise, recovering from the events of the previous week. Today, we're going to take it easy while still going through our next sense. The sense of touch. Touch is an extraordinarily important sense for many people. For the blind, they use use their fingers to read braille. For the deaf, they use it to feel vibrations. For others, we use it to feel textures, feel temperatures, to talk, to gesture, to do so many things."
Fraser even gestured a bit when he talked here, using his hands to demonstrate that. "The sense of touch is very important. Most people can discern what certain things are just by touching it. They don't seen to see or smell or hear it, they can touch it and the know from past experiences that they're touching something soft or something cold or something sticky. Their brain has that knowledge stored and provides a list of what the item can be. Today, that's what we're going to be doing."
He nodded towards a table where blindfolds, headphones and noseplugs existed. "Please put those on so you'll only be relying on your sense of touch. On the table, under the tarp are several things that you'll be touching. Using only your fingers, you're going to have to try and figure out what you're touching. Sound good? Let's begin."

"Oh! . . . It still feels gross, though."
