2. What is one thing you do not like or would like to change?
3. What is a question you need help with from your group?

EXAMPLES: 

1. Does my word choice and tone show my personality?  
2. How could my hook grab your attention better?  
3. How can I end my essay in a less obvious way? 
4. Do you understand the moral of my story clearly? How could that be clearer or stronger?  
5. Where could I add more depth and detail? ​
