Well, THAT was scary. I hit "reply" to my sister's e-mail, and suddenly I see that the ATEG list received it. She has no opinion one way or the other about teaching grammar in context or about appositives and relative clauses! My apologies--although I cannot for the life of me figure out how THAT happened!
