Onomatopoeia

One way that we learn new skills is to sing/rap about them.  Some students learn a concept better when they can add a little music to it!  In case you can't understand what they are spelling, it's
O-N-O-M-A-T-O-P-O-E-I-A, the sound of the word is the noise that it makes!  It gets stuck in their heads, and they are humming it all day long.  That's the point...taking a test, don't remember the word, just hum a little tune and the answer will come to you!  We use this strategy a lot in 5th grade language arts.
