This quiz is based on both the assigned reading (Graff et al.’s “They Say/I Say”) and the two episodes of HBO’s Real Sports from Module 2. Use these questions to guide you through the readings and organize your note-taking. If you do this, you should spend no more than 2 hours completing the quiz. Please answer each of the following questions in paragraph form, using full sentences and your own words (i.e. avoid using direct quotes unless otherwise specified): 1. In Part I of They Say/I Say, Graff et al. write that they wish to offer a "short, user-friendly guide to the basic moves of academic writing." What would you say are the two most effective "moves” offered by the authors? (approx. 150 words; 10 points) 2. What are "list summaries"? (approx. 100 words; 10 points) 3. What do the authors mean by a “hit and run" quote? And how do they suggest we avoid it? (approx. 100 words; 10 points) 4. Respond to the following for each of the Real Sports episodes (approx. 350 words per episode; 35 points each):

What is problem being addressed? What is the main question driving the episode? Identify and summarize two disciplinary insights used in the episode and name the scholars and their disciplinary backgrounds. Use one specific quote for each. Are there conflicts between insights? If so, discuss. If not, are there differences in the insights among those in agreement?
