 ==== Kick Off Questions ====
-  - What should the E-field look like for a positive storm cloud? What about a negative cloud?
+  - What is the difference between a separation vector ($\vec{r}$) and a separation //unit// vector ($\hat{r}$)?
+  - What should the E-field look like on the ground for a positive storm cloud? What about a negative cloud?
+  - Read through the main question and look at the given code block. Read through the code line-by-line as a group and write out in plain English words (or pseudocode) what each line does. For example "Line 3 - makes a cloud as a white sphere"

 ==== Wrap Up Questions ====
-  - How do you know if your code is working right?
+  - How do you know if your code is working right? (Write these in your evaluation quadrant!)
-  - What happens to your arrows if you change different parameters in the code? (e.g. cloud height, cloud charge, etc.)
+  - What does the while loop do in Step 2? How do you know what should be inside the loop vs outside the loop?
+  - What happens to your arrows if you change different parameters in the code? Try it out! (e.g. cloud height, cloud charge, etc.)
   - How big is the E-field below the cloud? Is that large/small/normal for an E-field?
   - What direction does the separation vector point? What about the E-field?
   - What assumptions did you need to make to simplify this problem?
