Onomatopoeia => the sound of the word conveys the meaning of the word, such as Bam in "Itchier Than Ever" (week 6)
Splat, burp, pop, boing, hiss are all words that sound just like their meaning.
For this week, try to add to the story using a word that is an example of onomatopoeia. And, then, try spelling onomatopoeia! Perhaps, Mrs. Whimbrel should toss that word into a spelling bee.
Welcome to MarMooWorks Story Line, where I encourage you to become a Muse of MarMooWorks. Each week, I will begin a story, using one sentence, and I invite you, the readers, to add to the story. Be on the lookout for fun and unusual words, images, and literary devices. Be sure to keep in mind that once a character has been introduced, he/she/it remains in the story and has a purpose.

Itchier Than Ever (week 6)
The first month of school passed by quickly enough, and nothing out of the ordinary happened -- except for the day three cedar waxwings flew into the window, one right after the other. Bam. Bam. Bam.
That was the first day James Vireo lost the spelling bee.
