Students generate vocabulary words synonymous or related to "noise." In this literacy lesson, students listen to the book Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What do You Hear? by Bill Martin and Eric Carle and discuss the meaning of vocabulary words such as "bellowing" and "yelping" from the story. Using the word pattern of the book, students write their own, "What do you hear?" sentence.
