Writing
using onomatopoeia in writing
This idea is sure to create a buzz as you lead students to more descriptive writing. To start, challenge small groups of students to list their favorite sound words and, if desired, have them include characters or objects that might make each sound on their posters. Display the posters around the room. When a student writes, instruct her to include at least three examples of onomatopoeia in her story without using examples from her own group's poster. |
