Writing: Opps, There Goes Those Misplaced Modifiers!

Misplaced modifiers confuse the reader.  It happens because a word, phrase, or clause is improperly separated from the word it modifies or describes.  This class will teach the learner how to spot these errors and correct them.  The parts of speech will be listed, and the adjective will be focused upon since this is usually the culprit when a modifier is misplaced. The class will be guided step by step by analyzing sentences, spotting the misplaced modifier, and seeing the correction.  I teach in a relaxed manner.  Prior knowledge:  Your child should have a reading level appropriate for their age.  It is helpful if the summary sheet which will be posted in the classroom is brought to class along with a pencil.  Class Rules:  We mute so we do not talk over each other, we are kind and respectful to everyone, and we raise our hand if we have a question or comment.
