In this lesson, we learned about onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia is a way that writers create sound in their work using words that sound like the noise they make. This can add interesting and dramatic effect to a poem or other piece of writing. Practice what you have learned using the following exercises!

For the following examples, add a word into the blank that captures the sound being described in the sentence.

1. The water _____ loudly into the bucket.

2. The librarian _____ the talkative girls in the library.

3. The two drivers _____ angrily at each other from inside their cars.

Try identifying some of the onomatopoeia words in the following excerpt of Shel Silverstein's poem "Noise Day."

"Let's have one day for girls and boyses

When you can make the grandest noises.

Screech, scream, holler, and yell–

Buzz a buzzer, clang a bell,

Sneeze–hiccup–whistle–shout,

Laugh until your lungs wear out,

Toot a whistle, kick, a can,

Bang a spoon against a pan,

Sing, yodel, bellow, hum,

Blow a horn, beat a drum,

Rattle a window, slam a door,

Scrape a rake across the floor..."
