Instructional Ideas
  • Gather a collection of poems that learners can browse and search for examples of onomatopoeia words
  • Make a word wall featuring onomatopoeia words, have sticky-notes available that pupils can write examples on and add them to the list 
  • Create a flipped classroom assignment—direct class members to complete both exercises at home, review work when they return to school and invite them to share their chosen three words and poem 
Classroom Considerations
