Teacher Notes:  Remember to be specific in comments that you put on a peers paper.  You will be graded based on if you can effectively edit a peer’s paper.  It is always helping to reread sections that you find problematic.  Remember that you are helping the person if you point a problem area out not if you ignore a problem area.  It cannot be improved if you simply skip over it because they are your friends.
