	Editor Name
General Reaction -- Read your classmate's piece quickly to understand its ideas. Write a few sentences addressing your first impressions about it. · What do you feel? Has the story caught your emotions? What are they? · Do you learn information? If so, what?
Research & Info What types of information could be added to make it stronger? (i.e., who needs to be interviewed? What facts feel unclear?) What information do you still need to know or that need clarifying? (review the research aspect)
Interviews & Quoting Has the writer interviewed 2 authority sources? 5 peers? Do the quotes flow into the narrative? Describe the best section’s use of interview evidence. Describe a part of the piece that is weak in quoting. How could it be better?
Structure Does the story’s structure flow? Is the order of information logical? Clear?
Which parts of the paper detract from the purpose? What is unnecessary? (What can be omitted?)
Class Input List here the elements that the class decided was important in forming a solid in-depth report. Address these in your comments.
Suggestions: Offer the writer at least two specific suggestions that might help him or her to improve the in-depth feature. Think of questions you had while reading: did it make sense? Were you able to follow along? These may be questions that your classmate will want to answer in the next draft.	1. 2.
