This is a review of Commas in a series. 

Students will fill this sheet out to help Ms. Meyer get a better idea of who you are. 

This is a PowerPoint outlining what we went over the first two days of school. 

It discusses school wide rules and procedures. 

This is where the 3 Native American Origin Myths are.

Rules for Misplaced or Dangling Modifiers

The website provided  above will lead you to the rules for finding and fixing misplaced and dangling modifiers.

Interactive Lesson for Misplaced or Dangling Modifiers

The second link provided above will bring you to the interactive worksheet version of the handout. For this option, students MUST attempt the worksheet themselves first. Having done so, students may then check their answers using this method but can only correct and not change their answers. I will give the questions you missed full credit if you correct it (Corrections made in a different color). 

Students will go through and read the powerpoint to learn more about what misplaced modifiers are. 

Following the reading charts, students will make inferences from the Origin Myths. 

Students will fill out the information in each box. For every "Phenonmenon", you explain how the Origin Myth described that phenonmenon. For the Navajo myth, you will tell me what is being explained AND how it is explained. 

For the archetype section, students will identify which characters match the appropriate archetype. You will tell me who matches it and WHY. 

Students will use the Origin Myth PPT to jot down notes. If the boxes are confusing, just write down what you need wherever. 

This details the 4 catergories in which you will be graded for your origin myth. 

These are the guidelines to writing your own Origin Myth. 

Students will use their knowledge of the Origin Myths to analyze the literary elements of the Myths such as symbols, patterns, and character types.
