Illustrating misplaced modifiers.
Have students draw pictures that show the literal meaning of sentences with misplaced modifiers. It would be good for them to write the sentences on their papers, underlining the words (usually the subjects) that are being described. On half of their pages, or on separate sheets, they might revise their sentences, again providing illustrations and noting the modified words.
