Directional Cues

Directional cues keep your smart, ignorant and hostile audience focused on your path of reasoning. Use 'however', 'but', 'yet' etc. to alert your reader that you are changing the direction of your analysis. When you extend beyond the obvious, use directional cues such as 'moreover' and 'further' to alert your audience that you are extending your point and not merely repeating it.
