Chapter: 3
-Don’t quote too much because you lose your voice
-Build a frame around your quotes so there’s an explanation and so there is a transition
– When you use quotes you gain credibility with the reader
-When you are explaining quotes, explain what the writer meant then in your own words
-Do not say “says that”, put it in your own words
-It’s better to over explain quotes than to under explain
-Use the templates from the book to introduce quotes
-Always connect what “you say” to what “they say”
-People need to quote exactly what “they say” not put it in their own words
-This is how we have been taught to quote so therefore this isn’t new information. And we do not have any questions. The templates are helpful to look at.
Group members: Eva Bosley, Molly Juncker,Kaity Soto, Abby Rainville, Giovanni Aulizio, Trevor Stokes. We have chapter two of They Say I Say. It’s about summarizing and revealing your own opinion. But also speak of opposing arguments, summarizing their parts and what you focused on. This allows you to set up your own argument without downgrading your opinion, essentially making you more credible.
Questions: When is it appropriate to use satirical and list summaries?
Applying? We will be summarizing for homework.
Methods of annotating: We basically all used the same writing main points on sticky notes after each section or per page.

Chapter 1 “They Say”
Use the “They say” method to give your writing more structure and background.
Using “They Say” in the beginning to explain the point of your topic.
Frequently return to the “They Say” to remind the reader the point of their argument.
Some of the ways that we connected to the text was that we have used some of these strategies in our own opinionated essays. Having to relate back to the original opinion or position to make the reader understand what the point of the essay is.
