Say With Readings

"They Say / I Say With Readings" is written by Gerald Graff, Cathy Birkenstein, and Russel Durst. It was published in 2015 by W.W. Norton and Company. The Preface of "They Say/ I Say" is essentially about how the goal of this book is to make the writing process simpler for people and to break down the topics and methods that will be discussed in the textbook. According to the Preface, all effective arguments are created using the "they say/ I say" format. The authors of this book encourage the use of templates in writing and believe that using them is very helpful to writers who have a difficult time finding the words for what they want to say. This text will show multiple templates, but will mainly focus on the "they say/ I say" format.
