These words help us form mental pictures about the things, people, or places that are described. Sometimes the word names a thing or action by copying the sound.
For example: Bong! Hiss! Buzz!
ACTIVITIES:
- Brainstorm (alone or with others) for approximately 5 minutes. List all the onomatopoeia words that you can. Swap lists if working with others groups. Ask another person or the other group what first comes to their mind when they hear each onomatopoeia word.
- Find at least 5 examples of onomatopoeia in the comic strip section of the newspaper.
- Write 5 descriptive sentences that contain at least one example of onomatopoeia. Rewrite the sentences and put a blank where the onomatopoeia word is located. Exchange the paper with someone and fill in the blank with an onomatopoeia word. Compare the sentences. See if you changed the meaning of the sentence.
- Find two or three pictures from magazines that show action. Write a paragraph that describes the action and include as many onomatopoeia words as you can.See if others can choose the picture that you were describing.
