The best-selling new composition book published in this century, in use at more than 1,000 schools, They Say / I Say has essentially defined academic writing, 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. The Second Edition includes a new chapter on reading that shows students how to read for the larger conversation and two new chapters on the moves that matter in the sciences and social sciences. line drawings Customer Reviews: Showing reviews 1-5 of 52 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...11Next » Poorly Written   August 30, 2010 Will 0 out of 1 found this review helpful The book is generally poorly written. It is extremely colloquial, and thus could be of use for teaching younger students. However, for an educated audience (college level), it is extremely weak and close to useless. I was assigned this book for an introductory writing course at my college and was surprised and slightly embarrassed at the quality of the writing. Small in size, but great in value   August 29, 2010 grandstar A short and small sized book, but clear and well-communicated contents. That's all I can say. Highly recommended! How to communicate ideas effectively   August 23, 2010 Nathanael Stover 0 out of 1 found this review helpful Very informative little guide about how to write more effectively.

Adults returning to school   August 2, 2010 KiKi (Chicago, IL) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful My English 101 professor had us use this book to make our papers pop! Some may say that this book is elementary, but I think that it is perfect for those that were never taught how to build an argument in an essay/research paper. I find the templates useful, and I will use them until the ideas start to kick in naturally. This is an excellent book, and I will always have a copy on hand.
