This writing conventions lesson focuses on using apposition to indicate the relationship between ideas. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the noun phrase and the sentence to determine the noun to be identified by the noun phrase. Then, they write a sentence using the noun phrase as an appositive. Finally, they read the sentence, listening for the appositive. In addition to the lesson, there are eight more pages for Independent Practice and review modeled after current adaptive testing items.
