Another type of figurative language is onomatopoeia. It's the use or formation of words, as hiss or cuckoo, that have a sound imitating that they denote. Students have no problem incorporating them into their writings. They are simply sound words. At times students seem to go crazy and they include too many onomatopoeia they take away from the what students are trying to say. Normally I limit figurative language to one different type per paragraph.
examples
boom
oink, oink
ding dong
tick tock
squeak squeak
