The book that demystifies academic writing, now in a high school hardcover edition with an introduction and teaching notes by Jim Burke. “They Say / I Say” demystifies academic discourse and shows students that writing well means mastering some key rhetorical moves—the most important of which is to summarize what others have said (“they say”) in order to set up one’s own argument (“I say”).

Quando conseguimos compreender a fala dos outros, torna-se mais simples organizar nossa própria fala. Este é o princípio deste livro: demonstrar que a boa argumentação é construída a partir da compreensão dos argumentos de outros autores e não a partir dos pilares do “achismo”. Eles falam, eu falo é um guia consistente sobre os mecanismos de produção do argumento e da retórica, que fazem a diferença na escrita. Eles falam, eu falo tem tudo para se tornar uma referência em metodologia e estilo da escrita convencional.
