Welcome To Wiki!
In the Hawaiian language, "wiki" means quick. This is a quick, interactive site for English 9 students where they can view daily assignments including vocabulary, upload documents, and post written work. Always keep in mind that this public domain is an educational resource; therefore, students must not write anything they do not want their principal, guardians, and clergyman/woman to read. Inappropriate content will generate unpleasant consequences.
Please review our rules for using this site:
We will post quality work that is academically relevant.
We will respect the work of others.
We will post wiki assignments on the wiki and in no other form.
Onomatopoeia are words that mimic sounds. They are like written sound effects that help to establish mood to a setting or enhance a character's actions. Some examples of onomatopoeia are : boom, meow, sizzle, crunch.
Your assignment is to write one paragraph describing an activity you routinely perform, such as a household chore, playing a sport, practicing a musical instrument, etc. The paragraph must have a minimum of 6 words that are onomatopoeia. Here is my example:
The cat hears the plink of the can opener from the opposite side of the house as I prepare his dinner. His little bell jingles as he trots up the stairs. He meows as he enters the kitchen, purring in hungry anticipation. He coils himself around my leg, causing me to stumble and drop his bowl. The moist meat hits the floor with a splat! I yell at him but he ignores me as he slurps his food off the floor. -by Ms. Hansen
Don't forget to add your name and save your work before logging off. We will read our paragraphs in class on Friday, 11/1.
