Summary
They Say / I Say demystifies academic writing by identifying its key rhetorical moves, the most important of which is to summarize what others have said ("they say") to set up one's own argument ("I say"). The book also provides templates to help students make these key moves in their own writing. This version includes readings that demonstrate those moves -- and provide stimulating conversations for them to enter. The third edition includes an anthology of over 40 essays on five issues that matter to high school students today.
