Step 1 Warming-up Ask students to answer my question. Step 2 Presentation 1. Show some sentences on the PPT, and ask students to discuss the function of the underlined part. After they finished, I will invite group leaders to share their views. And come to the conclusion that the function of appositive clause is a supplementary specification to a noun, this kind of clause equals to a noun. This clause always appears after the related noun closely. 2. Show the following sentences to deepen their understanding of appositive clause. And lead them to find out the different conjunction of appositive clause

Conjunctions: that, whether Conjunctive adverbs: how, when, where, why Conjunction pronouns: what, who, whom, whose, which “If” can’t lead an appositive clause.

Step 3 Practice 1. Ask students to make sentences by using appositive clause. 2. Compare the following pairs and find out the difference between the two sentences in each pair. Then ask some students to make a conclusion: the first sentence is appositive clause, and the second one is attributive clause. In appositive clause, the clause aims to explain the noun, and the conjunction works as nothing; while in attributive clause, the clause aims to modify the noun, and the conjunction works as some sentence constituent. Step 4 Summary and homework Ask students to make a summary and ask them to use appositive clause to write their diary as much as possible.
