Learning Objective: After reading the story The Little Old Lady Who Wasnt Afraid
of Anything, students will be able to write a short story using onomatopoeia.

using effective technique, well-chosen details, and well-structured event sequences.

sequenced events, include some details regarding what happened, use temporal

Developmental Appropriateness or Cross-curricular connections: Students
will be required to write stories and this way their writing will be enhanced. The
story they are telling will be in greater detail. Students will be able to notice the
literary device onomatopoeia.
Assessment(s) of the Objectives:
Lesson Objective
Students will interact with
the text The Little Old
Lady Who Wasnt Afraid of
Anything and point out
the onomatopoeia in the
story and write a story
using onomatopoeia
correctly.

Assessment of the
Objectives
Pre: Students will be
introduced to what an
onomatopoeia is by using
actions and sounds
During: While reading the
book as a group we will
stop and point out the
onomatopoeia in the book.
Post: Students will write a
short story that has
examples of
onomatopoeia.

Use of Formative
Assessment
I will use this later on
when the students have to
bring their stories to life.
Students will be able to
identify onomatopoeia is
other forms of text.

Accommodations: The students will be allowed to use peer partners. The ESOL
student will be given one on one time if needed. I will provide examples and visuals
for the students to follow and us as a guide.
Materials:

The book The Little Old Lady who wasnt Afraid of Anything
Story book paper
Chart paper
Pencils
Markers or crayons

Procedures:
1. Give examples of onomatopoeia physically
a. Stomp your feet
b. Snap finger
2. Explain to them that those are examples of onomatopoeia
3. Read the book
4. Pont out examples of onomatopoeia in the book
5. Give students directions to take their writing notebook and write a story that
has onomatopoeia in it
6. Have students write the story
7. Collect the story
Activity Analysis:

Having the students help you finish the last page of the story. This activity
will allow you to see if the students really understand after reading the book
and other examples. The activity gets their creative juices running. When
they see what you do they will try to copy it and even then they are doing
some work. There will be no technology used during this activity, just chart
paper.
Reading the book is the activity that will allow them to explore the text. This
way they see onomatopoeia other than your or their writing. They will be able
to point it on future test and in other text. The students will get excited about
the story and how it relates to the time of year it is.
