They Say I Say Chapter 14:

In chapter 14 the author introduces a thesis finding activity, after the students find what the author means it is now their turn to say what they want to. At first the discussion was drawn out and felt forced.  To combat this they gave students different questions like “whats the authors point of view” or “do you agree with what the author is saying etc. When they used these more specific questions the discussions flourished.  I read this chapter because I felt as though some of my quote analysis was weak and it needed strengthening.

I applied this to my revision process by going back to the quotes I used in my paper and re-analyzed them, asking more specific questions. By doing this I can understand the point the quote is trying to get across and learn information about the author that will be useful in my analysis.
