Thursday 05/03 Writing - Weather Onomatopoeia

Purpose: I can use onomatopoeia as I write about weather.

1. Connection: Onomatopoeia
2. Teaching: Today I want to teach you how poets use onomatopoeia to help an audience hear (and feel) what they are writing about.
3. Engagement: "Child Frightened by a Thunderstorm"
4. Application: If you were going to write a poem like "Child Frightened by a Thunderstorm," only about another kind of weather, what kind of weather might you write about?
5. Link: Independent Writing Time
• Use sensory words to describe weather.
• Continue personifying objects.
• Continue to write words and images for months/times of the year.
• Use sensory details to describe any other topic.
