Teacher tip
Ask kids to try to hold, smell or see each noun. If they cannot, it is abstract.
How to use it
- Review the part of speech with three quick examples on the board first.
- Act out verbs and adverbs, and hold up objects for nouns and adjectives.
- Give a minute at the end to reread the work out loud to a partner.
Watch for
Kids sorting by meaning instead of job in the sentence. Ask what the word is doing.
Talk about it
- How did you decide which kind of word it was?
- Which sentence on your sheet are you proudest of? Why?
