Task 2: “Awaken your Knowledge”

When the students found out what kind of part of speech are
those words, the teachers will ask the students to sort out the
words into two piles by asking them which words can you perceive
by your five senses and which words are not.

After the sorting out of the word, ask the students if what
kind of noun are those words.

The teacher will now introduce the topic to the students.

Noun: Abstract and Concrete Nouns

Abstract Noun are words that refers to entities that we

cannot feel, see, smell, taste, hear or touch them. It can be
qualities, emotions, feelings, concepts, and ideas that exist only in
the minds of humans.

Concrete Noun are words that can be detected and felt with
our five senses.
