I say

I thought that this reading was very helpful in breaking down how exactly to format your argument. Even the title: "They Say, I Say" says a lot about the proper format to put your paper in. It is important to not just use what you say, or just use what they say. In an argument paper it is best to pepper in the "they say" bits with your overall "i say" paper. The best way to start an argument paper is to first state the basic argument. This was the first section we read.

This was a very useful thing to read, since I have been wondering how the best way to format my paper would be. It clarified things a lot, and gave me some really useful advice, although I still don't know exactly where I should start.

The next section was based around helpful templates that you can use in your paper. These three templates are word-specific and completely interchangeable, and incredibly useful. It kind of opens up the different kinds of questions you should ask, and the ways to format the answers in your paper. I liked the simultaneously agree and disagree template. It helped me out a lot, because I am still kind of mixed up with where I stand in my paper.
