"They say/I say"

In the passage we read of "THEY SAY/I SAY" the author describes writing as conveying ideas. A major part of writing is the organizing of questioning assumptions, developing claims, giving supporting evidence and considering other's opinions. The key is to present your personal opinions as well as the opposing opinions. We are provoked to challenge, agree, or respond to other's statements. If we don't state what other's say, then it won't make sense why we are saying what we're saying. Organized writing is summarizing claims, then responding. Provocative claims can be made by anyone; a partial believed belief, or something no longer believed. The "they say/I say" format can be used to disagree, challenge thinking, and stir up controversy. As people advance using those templates, they can both agree and disagree while talking about the same topic. The templates displayed enhances the quality of writing, rather than hindering the creative process.

I believe writing is an expression of yourself. I never thought of it being as organized as what the author makes it seem in the book. I just thought it had to be logical, but not necessarily organized.
