Instructions:
- Divide the class into groups of 3-4 students.

- Explain the different types of nouns (common, proper, concrete, abstract) and give examples of each.
- Instruct students to work together to find examples of each type of noun in the classroom, hallway, or outside.
- Encourage students to be creative in their search and to think outside the box.
