They Say / I Say Exercise

The goal of the exercise is so that the individual can get an idea of how their take on writing, their style, fits into the overall context of how to tie one’s work together to make it tighter and more difficult to break. The highlighting, while in some places is hard to see indicates either the use of transitions (furthermore, however), pointing terms (this, that), key words (drugs, medication, extra boost), or repetition (saying one thing, saying it in a similar way).

I found that I was a bit “highlighter-happy” toward the beginning of the essay so that is why I chose pages that were further back. The goal wasn’t to see who highlighted the most but to see what was highlighted and to look at that quality. I believe that if we did this exercise again, maybe in the next essay, I would have a better understanding and would yield more quality-laced results.

Either way, this is very useful in writing always, so I will from now on perform this exercise on much of my future work!
