‘He kicked the ball, it flew for miles and miles and miles!
It came back round like a boomerang...PLONK! Straight on the head. Bill fell
down. ‘Ouch!’ he said. He then laid his head. He just wanted to go to bed. But,
of course, he had school instead.
When Bill got home his mum asked ‘what happened to your
head?’, he said ‘I blame it on Fred , he kicked a ball at my head’, Bill lied. ‘
I choose the use of non-lexical onomatopoeia
‘PLONK’ to emphasies the action and power of the hit and also to create a
further unstanding for the children who are reading the book as they will be
able to associate the noise with the action , ie the plonk as something hits
another object. I also used short sentences with a rhythmic pattern in order to
keep the childrens attention and for them to focus on the works and rhythm of
the story.
