is the basis of an approach that I call "sentence stuffing" - adding
information to a basic sentence to create meaning. As soon as I took this
approach, every student became an instant expert
in dependent clauses. Not one student failed to create a unique
dependent clause to tell why the baby was crying. This same approach -
to create meaning rather than to reconstruct meaning (sentence
combining) or to ignore meaning (grammar disconnected from writing) -
can be used for every part of grammar imaginable.
