Onomatopoeia! That’s what!
This week we’ve been exploring the use of onomatopoeia. We’ve read some comics, watch some old Batman episodes and read a poem full of onomatopoeia.

I’ll add some more work samples after tomorrow’s sessions.

What excellent ideas! I love the way the kids thought hard about how to stage the photos, then used their acting skills and creativity to enhance them. The onomatopoeic words worked very well.
