Since you have practiced with someone else's appositives, in the previous exercise, now it is time to CREATE YOUR OWN!!!!
In your Writer's Notebook, create a story using at least 5 appositives. Underline each appositive in your story.
Here are some ideas of what you may choose to write about.
A princess and a prince
A fire breathing dragon who finds a home in a cave
High School drama - between: girl friends, boy friends
A personal experience of yours: what you are doing this weekend, what you did last weekend
That should get you started! Appositives are Awesome!
Bring your Writer's Notebook to class prepared to share your writing and your knowledge!
