The most essential template in the book is the “they say, I say” template that teaches students to react to the arguments made by other people. The authors believed that a well-argued academic writing should include the opinion of others so that readers will know why there is a need to make an argument. The arguments that writers respond to do not have to be an eminent writer or the audience. From the template, we can learn that we do not need to be restricted to agreement and disagreement.

    Composition 2 has revolutionized my understanding of what it takes to make writing a powerful tool. The most amazing aspect of this course was for me to see the ways I grew in how I wrote, and what I wrote for, especially with the affirmative action paper.

Intellectually, I acquired the ability to understand what mattered to me, why it did, and how writing can bring forth a second opinion to many who may have opposed…
