Questions to consider:
- Did they give a final judgement? How do they judge it?
- Did they connect to monster theory?
- Is there any monster theories that you think connect that the author did not include? Make a note if there is any.
- Did they focus on a primary text?
- Did they give background on the monster?
- Did they include quotes and citations?

Peer edit the same way you revise your own work. Work on the global, higher order concerns, first.
Be specific in identifying problems or opportunities. Point to places in the text where you notice something. Don’t say organization is confusing, show them where it is confusing.
Use clear sentences and thoughts when commenting. Don’t just say awkward, explain what it is you find awkward.
Offer suggestions for improvement. Don’t just criticize, offer suggestions for revision.
Praise what is good in the paper. What is working well? What did you like?
Keep comments tactful. Treat another’s work the way you would like yours to be treated.
