This writing conventions lesson focuses on identifying and using modifiers. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the sentences, identifying the descriptive word or modifier. Then, they draw an arrow to the word it is modifying, determine whether the modifier is an adjective or adverb, and use the modifier in a sentence. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.
