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.
Hedging TechniqueYou now have complete sentences that we will combine.
• A sentence is an “Independent Clause”.The colors are annoying.
• 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,
Hedging TechniqueLet’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!
Hedging TechniqueNow 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.
