"They Say / I Say": The Moves That Matter in Academic Writing

"They Say / I Say": The Moves That Matter in Academic Writing (Third Edition)

The book that demystifies academic writing, now in a high school hardcover edition with an introduction and teaching notes by Jim Burke.

â€œThey Say / I Sayâ€ demystifies academic discourse and shows students that writing well means mastering some key rhetorical movesâ€”the most important of which is to summarize what others have said (â€œthey sayâ€) in order to set up oneâ€™s own argument (â€œI sayâ€). Students learn that writing is always part of a larger conversation, and the book provides templates to show students how to bring their own views in conversation with those expressed by others.
