This no-prep digital resource includes 10 different cloze reading passages with 9 unique appositive phrases per passage. Each passage is contained in its own Google Doc which makes assigning passages to student via Google Classroom or other platform easy. Once the activity is open, students simply click on the drop down boxes to select the correct appositive based on the context of the sentence. Students can keep track of which phrases they have used by utilizing the checklist in the Word Bank. PDF answer key is included. Note: These are the same passages as this printable resource: Appositives Phrases: 10 Cloze Reading Passages with Appositives

To Use:

1. Select the reading passage you want your students to tackle.
2. If you use Google Classroom, assign the desired Google Doc to your students via an assignment in Google Classroom. Make sure you click to make a copy for each student. If you don't use Google Classroom, you can send your students the link to force a copy. This way each student has their own version of the activity and can work on it independently.
3. Students access their document, then use the drop down boxes to determine which appositive phrase belongs in each area of the reading passage. Each passage includes 9 different appositive phrases.
4. To help kids keep track of the appositives they have used, they can use the word bank to check off phrases as they use them.

How I Use This Resource:

I used this resource recently with my Writing Intervention class as a way to continue to practice apposition. The kids said the interactive activity was fun. I loved that I could stand behind the kids and, because the answers are all in different colors, I could quickly see which students needed additional support to correct their answers. It allowed me to then pull specific students so I could teach another mini-lesson about this grammar skill.
