Completing your literature review
Complete your literature review in the designated section of the original template as follows: Title of your research, thesis statement (no introduction paragraph at this point), 2,000-word literature review divided into two-to-four main sections, and conclude with a Transitional paragraph – not a conclusion paragraph. – On Saturday, March 2, 2024 at 8:00 AM, I will download all shared Word documents in Teams and will consider this your first draft to be graded. Once I have graded your first draft of your literature review, I will upload your current grades to ESIIMA.. – Grades assigned to the first draft of your literature review are provisional and will be assessed (graded) again when you turn in your final draft to me on or before 12:00 PM, May 24, 2024. – When completing your first draft, consider the following: – Meet the word count. – At least one citation in each body paragraph. Each body paragraph should begin with ME and conclude with AL. See MEAL Plan. – Each body paragraph should have five-to-eight sentences. – Each body paragraph should begin with a topic sentence that aligns with the section heading. Section headings should align with the thesis statement – usually with the key points listed at the end of the thesis statement. The research questions should directly address the section headings and key points listed at the end of the thesis statement. – Your literature review should answer your research questions.
