In class, you should have learned about onomatopoeia and found two places were Jerry Spinelli used onomatopoeia in Maniac Magee. Now, here on the blog, let's look at using onomatopoeia in our own writing.
Make a list of onomatopoeic words (at least 10).
Discuss with Mr. Ney how to put each one into an interesting sentence. Write them here in the blog for me to read.
