The chapter I chose to focus on in the They Say/I Say book was chapter 16, Writing in the Sciences. I chose this chapter specifically because my essay talks exclusively about the importance of science versus art and this chapter show how to argue from a scientific perspective rather than an artistic one. This chapter specifically talks about how to respectfully argue against someone by bringing up their argument before using yours to prove them wrong.  I used this tactic to effectively argue against the implement of art in STEM in my essay.

This is from my original essay:

“STEAM is not necessary to advance society while STEM subjects are.”

Revised Version:

“While many may believe that art is something necessary for human growth and development, the only constant that has helped human advance through history is STEM subjects.”
