They say/I say : the moves that matter in academic writing
Graff, Gerald
They say/I say : the moves that matter in academic writing - 1st ed. - New York W. W. Norton 2006 - xviii, 181 p.
EXPERIENCED WRITING INSTRUCTORS have long recog-nized that writing well means entering into conversation with others. Academic writing in particular calls upon writers not simply to express their own ideas, but to do so as a response to what others have said. The mission statement for the first-year writing program at our own university, for example, describes its goal as helping students enter a conversation about ideas. A similar statement by another program holds that intellec-tual writing is almost always composed in response to others' texts. These statements echo the ideas of rhetorical theorists like Kenneth Burke, Mikhail Bakhtin, and Wayne Booth as well as recent composition scholars like David Bartholomae, Patricia Bizzell, Peter Elbow, Joseph Harris, Andrea Lunsford, Elaine Maimon, Gary Olson, Tilly Warnock, Mike Rose, and others who argue that writing well means engaging the voices of others and letting them in turn engage us.
