5. An appositive phrase is a noun phrase that renames a noun. It does NOT begin with the word "who." 

Write a sentence with an appositive phrase about your best friend and the members of your family.

examples: 

My niece, Jolie, loves Olaf.

In this sentence, the appositive "my niece" comes BEFORE the noun it renames.

Amos, the nerd who loves to read, sometimes has to be reminded to go outside to play.

In this sentence, "the nerd who loves to read" is the appositive. It works because it has a noun: "nerd" and it doesn't START with the word "who."

McLean, an artist, draws illustrations for her own books.

Notice that the information that comes after the appositive could use either the noun "McLean" or the appositive "An artist" as its subject. It makes sense to say "McLean draws illustrations for her own books." OR "An artist draws illustrations for her own books."

Now you give it a try! You should have a total of 5 sentences. (Write one about yourself too and bring pics to the table on Friday if you have them.)
