Introduction: Students will be investigating the different types of nouns. This activity will be the culmination of a three day study on types of nouns. Students will have previously completed bookwork, activities, and worksheets identifying the types of nouns. Teachers: Review the page prior to teaching. You will need to log each student into your account if you want to be able to view their results on your page. Also, about twenty minutes needs to be allowed for instruction on the program. The program is easy to fun and easy to use. Results can be printed out or purchased. ===Procedures: Students will be given a graphic organizer on the types of nouns. As a classroom activity, students will create a Storyjumper demonstrating individual understanding of the types of nouns. Students will choose the TreasureMap storyboards. Each student will create a character who takes the reader on a journey to the different types of nouns. Students will create one page for each type of noun. Each noun type must have a definition and example of the noun. Students are encouraged to use creativity to make the story unique and interesting.===
