They Say

           Lesson:
           Using the notes from yesterday's venn diagram, we can now write what "they say." From  
           Graff's book, They Say, I Say: 

      If there is one thing you learn this year, it is the importance of not only expressing your ideas (“I say”) but of presenting those ideas as a response to some other person or group (“they say”).  It is important to listen closely to others around us, summarizing their views in a way that they will recognize, and responding with our own ideas. To argue well, you need to do more than assert or state your own position. You need to enter a conversation, using what others say as a launching pad for your own views. 

Thus, today is all about what "they say."

Together, let's write what Brad Bushman says: 

Writing Time: 10 minutes, NO WALK, NO TALK
