  • If you use Microsoft Word, learn how to insert comments into Word documents. Highlight a word or phrase, go to Insert, select Comments, type your comment, and close the window. When a student moves the cursor over that word or phrase, the comment will pop up. Comments are a great editing and motivating tool for kids. Use them to guide drafting and brainstorming and to help students peer edit and work collaboratively on group projects.
  • Include some that say "Save your work; do not go any further until you help your neighbors reach this point."
