= **Peer Review of one body paragraph of Monkey King Essay** =

1. Underline the topic sentence of the paragraph. If there is not a topic sentence, write a suggestion for one. Or, if it is a weak topic sentence, write a suggestion for strengthening it.
===2. Put a check mark next to every place where your partner cites his/her sources. Double-check to make sure that the sources are cited in the way we discussed yesterday and the way shown on the Citing Sources handout. If not, make a note next to it telling what your partner needs to add.===

3. Identify any place where your partner still needs to cite his/her source. Is there any information in the paragraph that needs to be cited? Write "cite source" next to it!
===4. Circle every time your partner uses a "to be" verb -- is, was, are, were, etc. Look for one or two places where your partner could replace the "to be" verb with a stronger active verb. Suggest stronger active verbs! Replacing the "to be" verb might require you to rewrite or restructure the sentence!===
