Analyzing Data set 4

Your group assignment was to ask a question of Data Set 4, and set up the analysis you might do to develop a research essay based on that question.  This was our first shot at working on real-world language and the way it is used. We are starting class by talking through how we might look at Data from Sample 4 in light of a particular question.

Question:
What are the difference between language in the beginning/end comments, and the language in the side comments? What does each form for commenting accomplish? How do these differences cause students to "use" these two different patterns for commenting? And how do (or don't) these two different forms work together?
