In the Introduction to They Say/I Say: The Moves That Matter in Academic Writing, Gerald Graff and Cathy Birkenstein provide templates designed to help students who are unsure of what to say.
Specifically, Graff and Birkenstein argue that the types of writing templates they offer will help student make a whole host of sophisticated moves. As the authors themselves put it, “_these templates do not dictate what you say.” Although some people believe it would turn them into writing robots, Graff and Birkenstein insist that these templates will actually help your writing become more original and creative. In sum, then, their view is that it represents the stock and trade of sophisticated thinking.
I agree/disagree/have mixed feelings. In my view, the types of templates that the authors recommend will help my writing. For instance, it suggest a way of formatting what I say. In addition, Once I become comfortable with the templates in this book, I would be able to improve creatively. Some might object, of course, on the grounds that templates are very straightforward and they have problems recognizing that even the most creative forms of expression depend on established patterns and structure. Yet I would argue that the templates offered here are learning tools to get you started, not structures set in stone. Overall, then, I believe templates still gives the passage its underlying structure—an important point to make given that creativity and originality lie not in the avoidance of established forms, but in the imaginative use of them.

COMP 2000- Research Proposal 2/20/09
Proposal Title: Is fast food a daily eating option?
Submitted By: Rowland Solano
Introduction
This project will give me the opportunity to conduct my own research into determining why fast food has become a daily eating option. My questions are can people change their unhealthy eating habits? Do people understand what it means to eat healthy? Are people aware of all the health problems that exist in this country, due to poor eating habits?
My interest is to find out if people are getting valuable enough information regarding their health? Are people interested at all in eating healthy? Is it much more expensive to eat healthy? I am very concern about obesity in people, because I know some people who suffer from obesity. I would like to know what it would take to spread information throughout America to educate people about eating healthy
Research Method
In this research project I would first search the Internet for information concerning fast food and the cultural background that controls the eating habits of people in America. I would interview 30 people at different fast food restaurants to participate in my study. During the actual study the participants would be asked a series of simple questions concerning their eating habits, their family background, their working schedule, their financial situation, I would ask them if they had the opportunity to educate someone about healthy eating how would they go about doing it, and educate them on the benefits of healthy eating as oppose to eating unhealthy fast food, my intention is to understand their eating habits, and educate them on healthy eating. This study should take one week to complete, and after all the data has been gathered, I would read the information I received from the participants to see how more people can benefit from this study.

COPYRIGHT 1999 The Alan Guttmacher Institute
SEX AND FERTILITY * An estimated 1.38 billion women in the world are of childbearing age (15-44). During most of their childbearing years, women are sexually active but do not want to have a child. * Initiation of sexual intercourse--as part of or apart from marriage--by age 20 is common. 77% of women in developed countries have had intercourse by age 20, compared with 83% in Sub-Saharan Africa and 56% in Latin America and the Caribbean. * In many countries, couples have more children than they desire--or have a child at a time that they do not want one. For example, in Kenya, the average woman has 6 children, and the desired family size is 4; Bangladeshi women desire 3 children but have, on average, 4. UNPLANNED PREGNANCIES * Worldwide, more than a quarter of women who become pregnant have either an abortion or an unwanted birth. * In developed countries (where average desired family size is small), of the 28 million pregnancies occurring every year, an estimated 49% are unplanned, and 36% end in abortion. * In developing countries (where average desired family size is larger), of the 182 million pregnancies occurring every year, an estimated 36% are unplanned, and 20% end in abortion. ABORTION INCIDENCE * The reasons women give for choosing to have an `abortion include that they have had all the children they want, they want to delay their next birth, they are too young or too poor to raise a child, they are estranged from or on uneasy terms with their sexual partner, and they do not want a child while they are in school or working. * 46 million women around the world have abortions each year. Of these women, 78% live in developing countries and 22% in developed countries. * About 11% of all women having abortions live in Africa, 58% in Asia and 9% in Latin America and the Caribbean. The remainder live in Europe (17%) and elsewhere in the developed world (5%). * For every 1,000 women of childbearing age, 35 are estimated to have an induced abortion each year. * Overall, women in developed and developing regions have strikingly similar abortion levels--39 procedures per 1,000 women and 34 per 1,000, respectively. * Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland have abortion rates below 10 per 1,000 women of reproductive age; in all other countries of Western Europe and in the United States and Canada, rates are 10-23 per 1,000. * Romania, Cuba and Vietnam have the highest reported abortion rates in the word (78-83 abortions per 1,000 women). Rates are also above 50 per 1,000 in Chile and Peru. * Worldwide, the lifetime average is about 1 abortion per woman. ABORTION LAW * About 26 million women have legal abortions each year, and 20 million have abortions in countries were abortion is restricted or prohibited by law. * In much of the world, liberalization of abortion laws occurred rapidly between 1950 and 1985. By early 1986, 36 countries had liberal abortion laws, permitting women to obtain the procedure for social or medical reasons or without regard to reason. * Between 1985 and 1997, 10 developed and 9 developing countries with populations of more than 1 million eased restrictions on abortion.* 39% of the world's women live under restrictive abortion laws: 25% in parts of the world where abortion is permitted only to save a woman's life or is prohibited altogether, 10% where abortion is allowed only when it is necessary to protect a woman's physical health or her life, and 4% in places where abortion is permitted only for these reasons or to protect a woman's mental health. * 61% of the world's women live in parts of the world that permit abortion to protect a woman's life or her physical or mental health, for socioeconomic reasons or without regard as to reason (at least during the early months of pregnancy). * In the 55 countries where abortion is permitted on broad grounds, the law usually stipulates some conditions, such as gestational limits, consent requirements, counseling and waiting periods, and restrictions on where and by whom abortions may be performed. SAFE VS. UNSAFE CONDITIONS * Abortion mortality is low in developed countries, where the procedure is usually legal (0.2-1.2 deaths per 100,000 abortions). But in developing regions (excluding China), where abortion is often illegal or highly restricted, abortion mortality is hundreds of times higher than in developed countries (330 deaths per 100,000 abortions). * Within the first 12 weeks of gestation, when most terminations are carried out, vacuum aspiration is the most commonly used method in the developed world. At later stages of pregnancy, dilation and evacuation and medical induction are commonly used. * The World Health Organization defines "unsafe abortion" as a "procedure for terminating an unwanted pregnancy [carried out] either by a person lacking the necessary skills or in an environment lacking minimal medical standards, or both." It estimates that almost 20 million unsafe abortions occur each year--19 million in developing countries and the remainder mostly in Eastern Europe. * In developing countries with restrictive laws, wealthier women seek abortions primarily from physicians, but millions of poor women attempt to end their pregnancies by unsafe means. * Unsafe and often ineffective methods include taking various drugs or caustic substances by mouth; inserting objects into the vagina or flushing the vagina with caustic liquids; and having the abdomen massaged vigorously by women who are trained in this procedure. * About one-third of women undergoing unsafe abortions experience serious complications, but fewer than half of these women receive hospital treatment. * Of the estimated 600,000 annual pregnancy-related deaths worldwide, about 13% (or 78,000) are related to complications of unsafe abortion. * Mortality due to abortion is highest in Africa--an estimated 680 deaths per 100,000 procedures. PREVENTING UNPLANNED PREGNANCIES * The average woman must use some form of effective contraception for at least 20 years if she wants to limit her family size to 2 children, 16 years if she wants 4 children. * Globally, 58% of married women are practicing contraception. About 65-80% use a method in developed regions, Latin America and the Caribbean, and East Asia; 42% in the rest of Asia; and only 20% in Africa. * Nearly 230 million women worldwide--roughly 1 in 6 women of reproductive age--are in need of effective birth control methods. * In 8 developing countries that have information on contraceptive behavior among sexually active, unmarried women, between one-third and two-thirds are not using any contraceptive method; a further 10-40% are using a traditional method with a high failure rate, predominantly periodic abstinence. * U.S. data illustrate how contraception can reduce abortion. Women using a method of contraception are only 15% as likely as women using no method to have an abortion. SOURCES The data in this fact sheet are the most current available. Most of the data are from research conducted by The Alan Guttmacher Institute (AGI) and published in Sharing Responsibility: Women, Society and Abortion Worldwide; Hopes and Realities: Closing the Gap Between Women's Aspirations and Their Reproductive Experiences; Into a New World: Young Women's Sexual and Reproductive Lives; Induced Abortion: A World Review, 1986, sixth ed.; and the peer-reviewed journal Family Planning Perspectives.

RETHORICAL PAPER ASSIGNMENT CORRECTED VERSION
Sex and fertility
This paper being analyzed is called SEX AND FERTILITY, it is broken down into five parts
which discusses unplanned pregnancies, abortion incidence, abortion law, safe versus unsafe
conditions, and preventing unplanned pregnancies. The CLAIM the writer is trying to make is in many countries of the world today couples are having much more children than they really want, or having a child at the time when the do not desire one. This claim is a claim of fact, and the writer uses plenty of stastical data to back up his arguement, and we can see most of the evidence he provides have some truth to it. for example he said in the first paragraph that "worldwide , more than a aquarter of women who become pregnant have either an abortion or an unwanted birth." the thesis is setting the stage for us to believe that his claim is true, and as we continue to read the writer is very cleverly gives stastical date to further back up his claim, with this data he attached some more evidence while he breaks the world down into developed and developing countries.
The DATA the writer uses to support his claim is endless, he uses stastical data from countries around the world as evidence to solidily support his claim. the way he uses his evidence to support the explaination of his reasoning seems very convincing, and makes it easy to accept his claim. The data he uses for example to explain the incedence of abortion is he said , "Overall women in developing regions have strictly similiar abortion levels . 39 procedures per 1,000 women and 34 per 1,000 respectively.
The WARRANTS this writer is making touches home base, in the sense that he makes his arguement very convincing and easy for anyone reading this paper to accept. It is clear to everyone that women do have abortions in all countries around the world and he gives evidence of how much, and he specifies the selected countries, so we can get an idea of the values and commonly accepted beliefs of certain countries also it appeals to human motives and this strategy makes his arguement acceptable.
The BACKINGS the writer uses to further support his warrent is very strong, because first of all he makes it clear for all that women do have unwanted pregnancies, and they do have abortions for many different reasons.
The GROUNDS the writer to further back up his data seems trustworthy enough, he is saying he did the research by giving the names of certain organizations that if we check with them we are sure to get credible evidence. One example is he mentions that he got some of his evidence from the "World HEALTH ORGANIZATION."
There is always grounds for REBUTTAL in any arguement, in this paper the writer seems so very convincing that one would think with all his stastical data from the credible sources he mentions in his paper, we can only accept what he said to hold to be true, but when he mentioed that in developing countries with restrictive laws, richer women have abortions primarily from doctors as opposed to poorer women who have abortion by unsafe means, this could be a ground for rebuttal, because in todays society women are very health concious, and most women would not take the chance of further endangering their lives.
This paper being analyzed is called SEX AND FERTILITY, it is broken down into five parts
which discusses unplanned pregnancies, abortion incidence, abortion law, safe versus unsafe
conditions, and preventing unplanned pregnancies. The CLAIM the writer is trying to make is in many countries of the world today couples are having much more children than they really want, or having a child at the time when the do not desire one. This claim is a claim of fact, and the writer uses plenty of stastical data to back up his arguement, and we can see most of the evidence he provides have some truth to it. for example he said in the first paragraph that "worldwide , more than a aquarter of women who become pregnant have either an abortion or an unwanted birth." the thesis is setting the stage for us to believe that his claim is true, and as we continue to read the writer is very cleverly gives stastical date to further back up his claim, with this data he attached some more evidence while he breaks the world down into developed and developing countries.
