Identifying the moves that matter in academic writing in ways that students can readily understand and apply.

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 ones 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.
