Dangling and Misplaced Modifiers

Students are shown the humor that can be created with dangling and misplaced modifiers. (Prepare to have your students laughing!)

This lesson shows the definition of a modifier and a clause, as well as the difference between a misplaced modifier and a dangling modifier. The PowerPoint provides several examples for mastery and later for students to identify.

Following the PowerPoint, groups will use the printable worksheets to determine which sentences contain misplaced/dangling modifiers.

An EATS lesson plan (tied to the Writing Common Core Standards) includes an essential question, preview vocabulary, teaching strategies, assessment strategies, and an exit ticket.

This lesson is easy to follow, interactive and high-interest. The lesson plan, PPT, a group activity and individual worksheets are all included.

There is also a challenge section to differentiate instruction for quick learners.

Finally, students will complete an individual worksheet and an Exit Ticket.
