LITERATURE REVIEW INSTRUCTIONS

GOAL: The literature review is a complex genre, and the goal is to practice most of the learning outcomes of the course. As you prepare for and write the literature review, you will:

  • Synthesize scholarly, academic, professional, government, and non-expert, reputable sources.  
  • Practice writing the academic genre of the literature review to organize and integrate your own ideas with reputable sources, in order to suggest an intervention, a solution, or an area that requires further research. You will be establishing an exigence and writing with a specific purpose in mind.
  • Write for a specific audience (stakeholder) that can make decisions about your suggestion or recommendation. You will be making a new offering.

The literature review is an academic genre, used by academics and often by proposal writers to collect and synthesize sources. The literature review serves different purposes; in this case, the main goal of the literature review is to help you think about your topic in complex, nuanced ways and to explore and incorporate scholarly conversations into the argument you will be making for the final project, the advocacy letter.

The literature review is a transitional document you will use to investigate your topic as it is discussed in academic and expert discourses and to formulate your own ideas and arguments about the topic.

Although you will be using the literature review as a transitional genre, the literature review is a complex genre that requires time, effort, and focus. The literature review will be developed over eight weeks, and you must use every week to collect and annotate sources, and to integrate those sources. We will work on those skills as you move towards the deadline. The literature review is the core assignment of the course, because it is the most complex to write.

You will have the opportunity to revise the literature review. To be eligible to revise the literature review, you must: 1) have attended all individual/small group conferences; 2) completed the discussion forums related to the literature review; 3) participated in the peer review session.
