1. Onomatopoeia
The rusty spigot sputters, utters a splutter, spatters a smattering of drops, gashes wider; slash, splatters, scatters, spurts, finally stops sputtering and splash! gushes rushes splashes clear water dashes.

2. Onomatopoeia
Onomatopoeia is the imitation of natural sounds in word form.
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.

3. Brainstorm!
With a partner, take 3 minutes and brainstorm all the onomatopoeia you can on your sheet of chart paper!
To get you started…

Pow

4. Expanding your brainstorming
For each of the words you listed, write a person's name, a place or a thing that first comes to their mind when you hear the word.

Write 5 sentences that contain at least one example of onomatopoeia.
Ex. The bee buzzed by my head.
