They Say I Say

The main points of "They Say I Say" include the following:
-Quoting too little throughout a paper
-"What 'they' say must always be connected with what 'you' say."
-Make sure the quotes support your topic/ main points
-Use different templates for quotations
-Mix your own words well with the writer's words
-Dont over analyze quotations

These skills and ideas will be useful in my future research paper writing because they lead to well organized and well written research papers. All of these main points brought up in the reading are what makes a research paper good enough to get an A. Out of these skills, the most important, in my opinion, are  quoting too little throughout a paper, mixing your own words with the writer's words, and making sure the quotations directly support your topic/main points. These pieces of advise are essential to writing a great research paper.
