Hey guys it's been awhile since I posted anything, but today we had so much doing this great activity I just had to share! My students and I created an eight page book that talks about interjections and onomatopoeias. This is just another fun way they can add some flavor to their writing. What made it extra fun was to bind the little book I used funky duck tape. They got to pick what they wanted. I also found these cute speech and thought bubbles to place on their covers for decorations.
To make this fun eight page book I used Dinah Zike's foldable book on Vocabulary and Phonics for 4th grade - 12th grade. In her book she lists tons of words that make sounds (onomatopoeia). I gathered only the words I thought the students would find useful. The students wrote down the words on the front flap and underneath the flap they wrote a sentence using the word. On left side the interjections and the right onomatopoeia. The reason I did this is because they drew a Venn Diagram to compare and contrast both. I wanted to make sure they knew the differences and similarities to both.
I am a visual learner, so here are some photos to show you how we did this.
