In need of a literature review and could use support

A literature review gives you the opportunity to pause for the synthesis, both for yourself and for your audience. Note that a synthesis is different than a summary. In a synthesis, you should organize your paragraphs by topic and not by source, and—in addition to giving the reader an idea of what the source is about—a synthesis should accurately connect the relevant and significant concepts from your texts. We’ll go over how to do that more in class.

Source B . . . Topic B
In the end, you should situate yourself in the conversation. In other words, after having read what all these other people have to say, where do you fit? A revised (and potentially shortened) version of your Literature Review can become part of your longer project.
Your Literature Review should:
● be about 5-7 pages long (or equivalent),
● reflect your critical reading of 8-12 texts on your research topic,
● be cited and formatted using MLA/APA style, including a Works Cited/References page,
● have been drafted multiple times before being turned in,
● be grammatically correct, edited, and proofread,
● reflect multiple perspectives on the topic, not just yours, and
● be flexible so you can make additions or subtractions as you move forward with your project.
