Sample comments for the peer review

1. I like the way you use the evidence from the Global Warming reader to back up your thesis statement. For instance, you give a good explanation for why New York is not prepared for rising sea levels.

2. One thing that I think needs improvement is how you summarize from the articles. Sometimes I can't tell if you're using your own words or using the words other people wrote. Maybe if you write "the author says" before some phrases I can have a better idea of this.

3. There is too much information in your fourth paragraph. I think that if you just focused on how carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere the paragraph would be more effective. I think that's a strong point because New York will need to plant a lot of trees to get all the new carbon dioxide out of the air.
