  7. Hedging Technique • Choose one painting and list your positive and negative observations using complete sentences. • Positive: • The subject is interesting. • Negative: • The colors are annoying.

  8. Hedging Technique You now have complete sentences that we will combine. • In English, a “clause” has a subject & a verb. • examples: a sentence or a Subordinating clause. • A subordinating clause is a “Dependent Clause”. • Although the subject is interesting, • A sentence is an “Independent Clause”. • The colors are annoying.

  9. Hedging Technique Let’s combine these two clauses to make one sentence. • A Subordinating clause / “Dependent Clause” + • An “Independent Clause” = 1 complex sentence • Although the subject is interesting, the colors are annoying. • NOTE: Use a comma!

  10. Hedging Technique Now you try! Combine the sentences from your chart to make a longer, complex sentence. • Take a positive sentence and add a Subordinator (to make a Dependent ADV Clause). • Then write down your comma! • Next add a negative sentence (Independent Clause) • And end this new complex sentence with a period.

  11. Hedging Technique Now you try! Answer your group questions about the textbook topics using this hedging technique. • Take a positive sentence and add a Subordinator (to make a Dependent Subordinating Clause). • Then write down your comma! • Next add a negative sentence (Independent Clause) • And end this new complex sentence with a period.
