Description: "This book demystifies rhetorical moves, tricks of the trade that many students are unsure about. It's reasonable, helpful, nicely written. and hey, it's true. I would have found it immensely helpful myself in high school and college."MIKE ROSE, University of California, Los Angeles "The ability to engage with the thoughts of others is one of the most important skills taught in any college-level writing course, and this book does as good a job teaching that skill as any text I have ever encountered."WILLIAM SMITH, Weatherford College "The argument of this book is important that there are 'moves' to academic writing ... and that knowledge of them can be generative.The template format is a good way to teach and demystify the moves that matter. I like this book a lot."-DAVID BARTHOLOMAE, University of Pittsburgh "Brilliantly simple . .. adds to the argumentative strategies students already possess ... distills the essence of academic discourse in a way that students can understand and employ in their own writing."-RUSSEL DURST, University of Cincinnati "I think Graff and Birkenstein's basic argument is both persuasive and congruent with my own experience: these are the moves I needed to learn as a student. A very, very smart book."LISA EDE, Oregon State University
