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

At a time when so many lament the decline of writing skills among Americans, "They Say/I Say" teaches the core moves of effective argumentative writing. Suggesting that there are certain moves that experienced writers use instinctively, and that the moves can be learned, this book offers a number of imaginative templates for doing so. Praised for "demystifying the tricks of the writer's trade," "They Say/I Say" grows from Gerald Graff's award-winning "Clueless in Academe."
