Learning Objective
I can identify onomatopoeia in a sentence.
- 1
Onomatopoeic words are words that sound like the noises they refer to.
- 2
Words beginning with 'WH' often suggest the movement of air, while 'CL' can suggest something sharp or metallic.

If the vowel sound in the middle of an onomatopoeic word is short, it usually represents a shorter, sharper sound; a long vowel sound usually signifies a longer, deeper sound.
