For this class
you are working on a number of dimensions of good writing, one of which is
effectively writing with readers in mind. The book by Graff and Birkensten, They
Say, I Say, (hereafter
referred as “Graff”) is intended to learn structures for presenting ideas with
readers as the point of the writing. Therefore, every week you’ll be assigned
chapters to read and, following the reading, exercises to complete.
Below is
the next activity.
Read Graff
Chapter Four (pp 55-75).
Next, look back
to every section of Carr you have up to now read. Identify
TWO DIFFERENT places where
Carr has clearly agreed with others, disagreed with others or both. That is,
you are looking fortwo different examples, not one example that does
all of this. Copy as a quote those sections in which
you find his moves of agreeing, disagreeing or both, making sure you also
include the correct MLA style in-text citation for the original.
Your submission
should be only a quote and none of your own words. In other words, don’t
explain where
Carr is agreeing or disagreeing or both. Provide a quote in which he uses
language that shows he is agreeing or disagreeing or both.
