**FIRST VERSION OF THE SUMMARY OF THE ARTICLE "WHAT IS COLLABORATIVE LEARNING?"**
"Collaborative l earning" is defined as a new ways of educational approaches having students and teachers working together in groups or  teams, in which teachers are not seen as the center of knowledge, but as a " intellectual s coaches". This way, knowledge, experiences, doubts, are shared in a more natural way. Working in groups, students develop teamwork skills such as ability to hear others, leadership, problem solving and responsibility. Collaborative work can vary between classroom discussions, writing groups, short lectures, group researching, and peer teaching - one of the oldest form of cooperative work in which advanced students teaches other students. Learning collaboratively its not easy. It requires a lot of effort. But if the student have responsibility, persistence as well as sensitivity,the result will be a "community of learners in which everyone is welcome to join, participate and grow."

**Revision by Ágatha**In the first paragraph, I think you can change the last sentence. When I read aloud, the repetition of the word 'way' isn't good, even one in the beginning and another in the final of the sentence. In the first sentence of the last paragraph, I think can be a comma, not dot. And after 'sensitivy' there is a comma. Separate it of the next word ;)

Good work, Giselle! You clearly presented the main ideas of the article. I just have a few grammatical suggestions for you (see my comments). Do you have a second summary? -Kimi
