A Thought On Grammar

The daily writing prompt listed below has the word, "Poof!" in it. Poof! Is an onomatopoeia. What is an Onomatopoeia (pronounced On-Oh-Mot-Oh-Pee-Ah)? Well....


Onomatopoeia - noun. It is a written sound for an object. It is usually an exclamation and ends with an exclamation point. Some examples of onomatopoeia are: Ring! Ring! for a telephone. Buzz! Buzz! for a bee, Meow! for a cat, Pow! For a punch. Bang! for something falling, and Boom! for an explosion. See if you can draw some pictures and add some onomatopoeia to describe their sounds.
