"Z" is for Zzz...Writing Sounds
Ohhhhh, I love to use sounds in my writing! But how do you spell the words correctly? I started a list of word sounds (at bottom) and then found this GREAT website that tells you how to spell them! Yippee! Writing Exercise: Write a poem or story using sounds. Share in the Comments Section. My response is below.
The frisbee whizzed through the air. It thudded against the chalkboard. Ellie Mae put her hands on her hips and with a tsk-tsk-tsk proceeded to tell Bobby that he would be in big trouble if Ms. Cruz had been in the room. Just then the door clicked open and Bobby heard the familiar clack-clack-clack of shoes on the polished floor. He froze. It wasn't Ms. Cruz. It was Mr. Upperman, the principal, who merely pointed toward the office.
As Bobby sat down in front of the big mahogany desk, Mr. Upperman began the usual drum-drum-drum of his fingers on the glass top. Soon the lecture would begin. Why didn't he learn? He always got caught.
