PARAGRAPH
READING QUIZ
HANDOUT USING THEY SAY/I SAY
Agree, Disagree, Somewhat Agree Templates
Example
My habit is biting my nails and I want to respond to Duhigg’s golden rule of habit change
First, I have to figure out if I agree, disagree, or both
Then, I figure out which template fits my response and change it so it works for me
Example
Duhigg is surely right about ________________ because _________________________________.
Duhigg is right about the golden rule of habit change because I find that when I chew gum instead of biting my nails, I get the same reward. If I can keep a pack of gum with me at all times, I can chew a piece rather whenever boredom cues me to bite my nails. The difficulty will be that I have to remember to have gum with me all the time and that chewing gum is not always appropriate.
Example in Pairs
Your habit is smoking and you are responding to Duhigg’s point about the role of belief in habit change.
