record a definition for the word "noun".

a definition and example for each group of nouns.
* 4. The students will then begin breaking the 4 general groups of
nouns into 8 specific types of nouns.

paper.
* 6. The strip of paper will be folded in half and glued (bottom half
only) inside the interactive notebook- the RIGHT side.

strip) the student will write a specific noun.
