GREAT Book!! September 26, 2011
by Burt Wagner

This is the book my class used for Eng101. My teacher told us how great the book was, but I've heard that before and I was skeptical. After getting through the class, I can honestly say that this has been one of my favorite textbooks so far. It helps you learn how to properly organize your work, and it also help you develop your points in a way that flows well. I would recommend this book to ANY Eng101 student, even if it's not the assigned book. You will thank me later.

Summary

"They Say / I Say" shows that writing well means mastering some key rhetorical moves, the most important of which involves summarizing what others have said ("they say") to set up one's own argument ("I say"). In addition to explaining the basic moves, this book provides writing templates that show students explicitly how to make these moves in their own writing.
