https://padlet.com/rowens/qiz6vlmxqhe8 When we looked at ellipsis, we noticed that some writers used colons to introduce a list. We noticed that the list followed a complete sentence- see Mentor Text example. Notice that the sentence could stand alone without the list. Then write your own sentence using a colon to introduce a list at the end of the complete sentence.
