file:///Users/Kylie/Downloads/TheySayISayTheMovesThatMatterinAcademicWritingwithReadings4thEdition_715874942.pdf <–BOOK(they say, i say)

For this assignment, you will choose and respond to one of the articles in Chapter 17 or Chapter 20 of They Say, I Say (do not choose the Casselman essay since we already covered it in the journal entry assignment). After reading this assignment all the way through, you should choose a few articles to read that might interest you before finalizing your choice.

In order to respond to the text, you must first read it and comprehend the author(s) viewpoint, position, or argument. The first part of your assignment will therefore be an explanation of the author’s position using summary, paraphrase, and perhaps some quotation. The second part of the assignment will be your response, using the concepts you learned in Chapter 4, “Yes/No/Okay, But.”

Your essay will start to bring together and synthesize your growing understanding of the templates in They Say, I Say, and the practice with them we have been doing in class. Therefore, on this assignment you will be assessed on comprehension, summary, analysis, understanding of the rhetorical situation, and the logic of your own response. You will also begin to use MLA format in order to design your document and cite your source(s). You may use the “Short Template” linked in Canvas as the basis for this assignment; you will need to adjust it in order meet the minimum word count.

Remember, you are not expected to know everything there is to know about academic reading, writing, and rhetoric, but to show that you are building the skills necessary for success in academic and professional contexts. The more practice you have, the better you will become!
