1	Onomatopoeia onomatopoeia (ŏn'əmăt'əpē`ə) [Gr.,=word-making], in language, the representation of a sound by an imitation thereof; e.g., the cat mews. Poets often convey the meaning of a verse through its very sound. http://columbia.thefreedictionary.com/Onomonopiea
2	Examples of Onomatopoeia If you need some help to get started thinking about onomatopoeias, consider looking at this website to get you going: http://www.worsleyschool.net/socialarts/onomato/poeia.html O.K., get the idea?

3	White Boards Each work station has a white board packet with an erasable pen. We will use this at different points during class. Please return the boards to the zip lock bags along with the pens and seal the bags when we clean up at the end of class.
4	Can you think of an Onomatopoeia? Please unpack your white board and pen. Give some thought to a word that describes the sound it makes and write that work in LARGE letters on your board. When I ask for your responses, please hold up your boards so that I can see what you have written. Example: What would you write on your white board to describe this sound? Click on the link to hear the sound. Example 1 Example 2
5	Can you think of a picture to match your word? Consider what type of picture you could add that would illustrate your word more clearly. Please draw that on your white board. When I ask for your response, please hold it up so that I can see it. (example: http://www.worsleyschool.net/socialarts/onomato/poeia.html )
6	Onomatopoeia Mobile Project We are going to create a mobile out of onomatopoeia words and visual images of the sound to hang in the room to give us some vocabulary words.
7	M.S. Paint Microsoft Paint is a program that allows you to create visual illustrations of drawings. We will use this program to create the words and pictures to allow them to be printed out in color to assemble the mobiles.
