Assignment

Part 1:

Prepare a 9 - 12 page literature review; page count is for content only and does not include the required title page, abstract, Table of Contents (TOC) or References. The content of the Literature Review should include the following components:

• Introduction: In 1 - 2 pages*, briefly describe the issue providing appropriate background information and discuss why researching this issue is important.

• Research Purpose and Questions: In 1 - 2 pages*, clearly and concisely state the purpose of the research and the 2 - 3 specific research questions to be answered

• Literature Review: In 6 - 8 pages*, analyze and synthesize 15 or more scholarly sources including 5 research studies to comprehensively examine the issue and answer your research questions

• Conclusions: In 2 - 3 pages*, draw valid conclusions supported by findings in the literature.

Part 2:

Prepare a presentation that summarizes your Literature Review in 10 slides or less (plus title page and References). Since you are summarizing your paper, you may not be able to include all 15+ sources used in your Literature Review; your references should only include sources cited in the presentation. You must include PowerPoint speaker notes in your PowerPoint.
