Week 2 Tips - Onomatopoeia

Onomatopoeia refers to words that sound like the thing that they represent.

For example, 'boom', 'bang', 'burp', 'crush', 'gurgle', 'slurp', 'meow' and 'woof.'

Using examples of onomatopoeia in creative writing helps your readers imagine the sounds you're telling them about.

Here are some examples from your monster descriptions:

'Froghands sounds like a croaky witch.' - Anonymous from St Edwards

'They make strange growling noises like when your tummy rumbles.' - Fahima from Bridge Junior School.

'When he shouts, it's so loud that the ground rumbles and the trees knocks over.' - Natalie from Broadway.
