They Say / I Say demystifies academic writing by identifying its key rhetorical moves, the most important of which is to summarize what other have said ("they say") to set up one's own argument ("I Say").The audiobook 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 44 readings that will provoke students to think - and write - about five important issues, including two new ones: Is Higher Education Worth the Price? and Why Does It Matter Who Wins the Big Game?… (more)

Lots of great information. It's more so a different perspective of the writing process rather than a whole new style of writing, however this new perspective makes it so much easier to draft your ideas. What's great is that it doesn't conflict with any of the other great writing books I've read (see my Read list), it just simplifies and extends my application of them, which is much appreciated. ( )

Excellent. This is a book that belongs on the shelf--right next to the latest editions of The Elements of Style and Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary--of every college freshman.

A useful book for high school students and college freshmen. Generally speaking, the templates are probably most helpful for students who need to sharpen their writing skills; nothing will be particularly groundbreaking for more advanced students. ( )

On a re-read, I like this a little less the second time around. Still good, though. ( )
