Homework: On the other handout, circle the onomatopoeia in the first 12 sencences, and identify what is making the sound.
1 zap - ray-gun
2 gargle - Daryl(‘s throat)
3 clatter - dishes (This means they probably didn’t break.)
4 whiz - bullet
5 grumble - stomach (Your stomach can also growl.)
6 crinkle - paper
7 hacking - patient (You can also describe something as a “hacking cough”.)
8 rip - checks (“Rip” didn’t start as onomatopoeia, but it does have a similar sound.)
9 hum - pencil sharpener
10 screech - tires
11 creak - cabinet
12 cough - you/your mouth
