AWARENESS OF HOW WORDS ARE
COMBINED TO CREATE MOOD AND
MEANING

but also how the writer, in putting those words together,
has created the mood and meaning which you now
need to give voice to.
STUDY AND PREPARATION
- Consider the attitude, feelings, emotion, or
temperament of the person who wrote the selection.
- Research the life of the author and the circumstances
that led to the writing of the poem or story as this
background may help you understand the selection.
MAKE THE PIECE YOUR OWN WHEN YOU
INTERPRET IT
- Identify words and ideas that need emphasis.
- Recall your own experiences to help you in
understanding the author’s mood.
- Put your vocal skills (proper quality, pitch, intensity,
rate, including, and phrasing) into good use to recreate
the writer’s meaning.

TONE, MODULATION, EMPHASIS) AND
NONVERBAL CUES
