Implementing They say, I say into my essay
After reading part 1-2 on They Say, I Say, I reflected more on my essay and thought about anything I can do to make things more enjoyable to read in my essay. I thought about making an argument on my paper because my paper really lacked the argument side. I am also not very good at creating a strong argument for any of my past papers. During my reflection, I have realized that my whole draft essay was just a basic summary and examples with facts to support it. There was no argument whatsoever. I thought to myself "what a better way to make my paper interesting instead of a flat out response to the research question". I'll be using the ideas I gain from chapter two and throughout the book to help create a argument for my paper. The templates will be a great start for me.

I think that it is a good idea to add some things to your essay to make it more enjoyable for the reader. Adding things like color and voice will not only add some more personal aspects to your paper but it will probably also help with your argument. Adding more of your personal voice will add in your perspective so your argument will probably become more clear through that. :)
