Craft Lesson 2

Wong, Janet. “Buzz.” Voyager Books. Orlando, Austin, New York, San Diego, Toronto, London: Harcourt, 2000.

Discussion

Onomatopoeia is a word that imitates a sounds. This can be a useful tool in writing. This lesson uses Buzz to teach what it means and how to use sound words.

How to Teach It

After reading the book, have children call out things they can remember from the story that made the sound. Then, have them come up with more sound words. For the actual activity, choose one word (or a variety) to create a class story and have children illustrate the story. They can choose or the teacher can assign pages.
