Onomato-what?

Onomatopoeia -  When a word is formed from the sound that an associated thing makes.

Examples: Boom!  Bang!  Crash!  Sizzle!

Team Gibbas students have been learning about different tools that poets use to create poems.  This past Wednesday students choral read/performed poems with examples of onomatopoeia.  Then students searched our vast collection of poetry books to find additional examples of sound words.
