Remember the vocab list I handed out in class? The list came from this great site: www.writtensound.com
The site is an excellent resource because it categorizes the vocabulary by theme. So if you want some ideas for describing sounds of water/liquids, there is an entire list dedicated to that, and many more themes like animal noies.
