Hello, and welcome to strategy six. We're moving right along is the Muppets sink. I say that to my students and they'll snicker sometimes. But moving right along. Under strategy six, we have presentation. And the strategy for this one is to clarify your rhetorical situation, plan your humanities and stick with them.

Clarify your rhetorical situation. And your rhetorical situation includes your genre, your voice, your audience, your all of those things that create what your story is and how you're going to present your purpose, your main idea, plan your Unity's and Unity's are things like tone to a degree pronoun reference. tense verb tense and things like that, and then stick with them. Understand your audience purpose and tone from the beginning. Plan your point of view verb tense pronoun references excetera and keep them consistent throughout, unless there's a specific reason to change them. Of course, if you are in present tense, and then you go into a story that's in past tense, there's a clear reason for changing that particular unity.

And unity is, like I said, are all those things that you want to think about ahead of time, that usually stay consistent throughout a piece. And so think about what those are playing them consciously, and then stick with them throughout. And then when you go back and revise, go through and make sure that all of those Unity's are staying consistent, because it's very easy to get wonky, and to shift into another point of view. Because once again, we tend to write how we speak and we shift back and forth when we're speaking. And so it's really important to work on keeping that consistent throughout. Once again, that's one of my weaknesses, I have to constantly I'll go through and look through something four times and I'm like, I've got this right.

And I'll find a point of view that's still in past tense that should be in present or vice versa, or something like that, or a pronoun reference that's off and I'm like, I just looked at that. So It's really good and really important to go through it several times. Now technique one of presentation is to alert readers to mood changes early, alert readers to mood changes early. And basically a change in mood is when the context of a situation changes, or your contrasting two ideas or something like that. So the explanation for that is to use mood clarifiers early when there is a mood change and use ones appropriate to the context of the situation. It's important to use mood clarifiers when necessary, but also make sure that you use ones appropriate to the situation.

And also maybe most importantly, don't do it at the end of when it shifts. Make sure you do it right when it happens, so that the reader knows that the the mood shift has occurred and you can sort of market or signposted and they know that you're going straight into that new change. Example to clarify. Well, here are some examples first of new changing words, you could think of fanboys, fanboys for and nor, but yet so others are however, moreover, in there are many, many others a suggestion, I would say would be to look up transition words, Google transition words, or Google new change, words mood clarifiers those are some terms you might want to consider. And then you'll get dozens of them and you can look at the context of the situation to see which one is better and also to help you to use variety with our so you don't keep saying but but but but but and you can use variety they are so that there's an organic flow, just like with your word choices and your sentence structures and all of that, but an example of that.

That would need correction. James didn't mind the selection at the cafeteria when he began a vegan diet and However, he bought his own lunch to work, he brought his own lunch to work on that one makes sense, but it doesn't flow as optimally as it could. So here's a correction. James didn't mind a selection at the cafeteria. However, when he began a vegan diet he bought brought his own lunch to work. And so that is one where the however, was just shifted to the beginning of the second sentence, right when the mood changes, and so that makes it clear for the reader.

They are what's happening right when it begins. And so that is technique, one in strategy six, and that's just to clarify, alert your readers to your mood changes early, alert readers to mood changes early and just remember to get lists of mood clarifying words and phrases and use a variety of those in the context of the situation.
