The Literature Review
This week we will be expanding on the work we started in week two of this course. Rather than just analyzing resources this week we will be blending our resources into a larger frame drawing connections between each of the resources and to our project thesis. For a refresher on the final project criteria see ourpreview.
A literature review has two specific goals:
You should think of your literature review as a way to tell a story about your research using sources as guideposts along the way. Think about your role in this as a moderator in a discussion between your sources and your job is to keep them focused on your thesis (this is usually the first section of a research article so you should use the literature reviews of your sources as a model for what we are doing here).
You will need a minimum of five (5) sources in your literature review (you will need a total of ten in your Final Project). Consider the following to help you gather these sources:
Please note: information from the Internet may not be used for this project unless the source is from an e-journal (a peer-reviewed journal that is published on the web). The organizations website is an exception to this rule but it can only count as one of your ten sources.Assignment
Create a literature review incorporating each of your references (minimum of five) tying them to each other and to the thesis of your project in a single narrative. You should cite each source in the body of your literature reviewandin a references page at the end of your paper.
Your literature review should be arranged in the following way:
References: As well as accurate in-text citations your literature review must contain complete and correct APA citations for every source in a references page at the end of your review.
