A wad of paper is dropped from a second-story balcony and falls through still air to the ground.
• As it speeds up, what happens to the air resistance it encounters?
The air slows the speed of the paper
Is the air resistance the same when the paper starts out as it is after the paper has sped up? What happens in between?
• What happens to the net force acting on it?
The net force remains the same.
What forces make up the net force, and how are they combined to get the net force?
Does the net force change as the paper speeds up?
• What happens to its acceleration?
The acceleration should decrease
If the acceleration decreases, then since the mass of the paper isn't changing, the net force decreases.
• If it dropped from a much higher point, what would happen to the net force and the acceleration?
I believe it would mimic what happens from the lower point.

Right ideas, but see my notes asking for more specifics.
