    LESSON PLAN IN ENGLISH – GRADE 10

    L.C. Recognize and correct misplaced and dangling modifiers.


    I. Objectives
    At the end of the 60-minute period, the students will be able to:
    1. identify misplaced and dangling modifiers;
    2. emphasize clarity as a means to avoid misunderstandings; and
    3. write sentences with appropriate modifiers.

    II. Subject Matter


    Topic: Misplaced and Dangling Modifiers
    Concepts: A misplaced modifier is a phrase, clause, or word placed too far from the
    noun or pronoun it describes. A dangling modifier is a word or phrase that modifies a word not
    clearly stated in the sentence. A modifier describes, clarifies, or gives more detail about a
    concept.
    Value(s): Clarity in communication

    III. Procedure
    A. Classroom Routine
    B. Activity Proper
    1. Review. Read each sentence carefully. Identify the phrase modifier and the
    word it modifies.
    a. Tall and handsome, the mysterious stranger looked like a movie
    star.
    b. Upon hearing the news, Rebecca responded immediately.
    c. Working overtime, we finished the project by the deadline.
    d. Before she became ill, Claire enjoyed a comfortable, satisfying life.
    e. Using the computer, I finished the report in two days.
    2. Sketch It. Divide the class into tetrads. Give each group one sentence to
    illustrate.
    a. A woman passed by, leading a dog in a long black dress.
    b. Flying over the African landscape, the elephant herd looked
    magnificent.
    c. Covered with hot melted cheese, we ate the pizza.
    d. Hanging on the wall, my mom really liked the picture.
    C. Analysis
    1. How do you find the images you have drawn based on the sentences?
    2. What seems to be the error in all these sentences?
    D. Abstraction
    1. Inductive Method. Post 3 sentences with misplaced modifiers and another
    3 with dangling modifiers.
    a. Each group of sentences contains errors in modifiers. What type of
    error is committed in each set?
    b. What are misplaced modifiers? How does the wrong placement of
    the modifier affect the meaning of the sentence?
    c. What are dangling modifiers? How can we possibly improve the
    sentences?
    2. Flash more sentences on the board. Let them classify whether the sentence
    contains misplaced or dangling modifier. Call a volunteer to write the improved version
    of the sentence by correcting the errors in modifiers.
    a. The car on the bridge, which is green is mine.
    b. Expecting confusion, our plans were made.
    3. Complete the chart.
    Error in Modifier Description How to deal with it?
    Misplaced modifier
    Dangling modifier
    4. Reflection. Oral Recitation
    Misplaced and dangling are grave errors in English. What might be the
    implication of these errors in our conversation? Writing?
    E. Application. Working Tetrads
    1. Provide each group a copy of the Worksheet.
    2. Each sentence either contains a misplaced or a dangling modifier.
    3. Write the grammatically correct version of each sentence.

    IV. Assessment. Quiz


    A. Write "C" if the modifier is correctly placed. Write "MM" if it is misplaced. Then, in
    the "MM" sentences, circle the modifier and draw an arrow to show where it should go. Write
    the correct sentence.
    1. The man was stopped for speeding in the blue sweater.
    2. Joe promised to mow the lawn running out the door.
    B. Write DM if the modifier is dangling or C if it has a subject to refer to and the
    sentence is correct. Write the correct version of erroneous ones.
    1. Chasing his sister, Billy fell and bruised his knee.
    2. Laughing hysterically, the joke was repeated.
    3. Planning vegetables, her knees got dirty.

    V. Assignment
    Complete the sentences. Construct a 10-sentence paragraph where each sentence is
    found. Place your output on a short bond paper due on Friday.
