- Rationale: Welcome to “Sentence Combining and Clarity.” This presentation is designed to teach your students about common sentence clarity problems, including misplaced modifiers, dangling modifiers, and passive voice, as well as strategies for combining sentences together. The twenty-nine slides presented here are designed to aid the facilitator in an interactive presentation of methods for improving sentence structure. This presentation is ideal within a composition course or within any course as a refresher to common sentence problems. This presentation may be supplemented with OWL handouts, including “Conciseness: Methods of Eliminating Wordiness” (http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/general/gl_concise.html), “Some Strategies for Improving Sentence Clarity” (http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/general/gl_sentclar.html), “Dangling Modifiers” (http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/grammar/g_dangmod.html), and “Active/Passive Verbs” (http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/grammar/g_actpass.html). Directions: Each slide is activated by a single mouse click, unless otherwise noted in bold at the bottom of each notes page.
