  1. Creating an Outline Building Sub-Topics for Literature Review

  2. Creating Subtopics Web Diagram to Identify Multiple Perspectives

  3. Literature Review: Statement, Theory, or Hypothesis Academic Paper Deductive Reasoning Attempting to Prove Body of Knowledge Information to back hypothesis Study is justified due to BOK

  4. Literature Review: Open-Ended Research Question Academic Paper Inductive Reasoning Attempting to Answer Body of Knowledge lacking answer Research Question justified due to absence

  5. What type of reasoning will you use? Why?

  6. Subtopics in your Literature Review

  7. Subtopics in your Literature Review • Multiple perspectives that build to support your own research question/statement AND • Educate your audience prior to your own research method

  8. Deductive Example: Subtopics: • Flavors of each Skittle • Skittle definition and exposure to skittles in popular culture • Chemistry of Skittle Flavor Creation • Ingredients diversity based on color • Physical Mechanics of Taste • How taste works in the human mouth • How smell influences taste • Influence of age in tasting different flavors (sweet, salty, sour, bitter, etc.) • Arrival at justification for research topic

  9. Inductive Example: Subtopics: • Definitions: Differences in Packaging • 14 oz single package • 41 oz share size package • Influence of Quantity on Emotional Response • Include previous studies that study emotional response to quantity • Age group Discussion (Educate Audience) • Behavior and External Influences of 14-15 year olds • Behavior and External Influences 16-17 year olds • Arrival of Justification to tie all subtopics together to answer a research question

  10. Creating a Web Diagram

  11. Draw a circle in the middle of your paper. (Large enough for two sentences...)

  12. Write down your research question. Do you have a research statement/theory/hypothesis that should follow that question?

  13. Create the subtopics of your research question. These should branch away from your main RQ. Educate your audience from all angles/perspectives of your topic.

  14. Detail Subtopics will lead to specific pieces of information that need to be shared with your audience. Detail Sub RQ Detail

  15. Adding Details to Subtopics Bolstering Subtopics with Evidence from BOK

  16. Detail Subtopics will lead to specific pieces of information that need to be shared with your audience. Detail Sub RQ Detail

  17. Detail Detail Detail Detail Sub Detail The details that you add to each subtopic should be cited from your BOK. Sub RQ Sub Detail Detail Sub Detail Detail Detail Detail Detail

  18. Putting it all in order... Creating an Effective Outline

  19. Detail Detail Detail Detail Sub Detail Where you are... Sub RQ Sub Detail Detail Sub Detail Detail Detail Detail Detail

  20. Main Topic • Subtopic • Detail with Evidence • Detail with Evidence • Detail with Evidence • Subtopic • Detail with Evidence • Detail with Evidence • Detail with Evidence • Subtopic • Detail with Evidence • Detail with Evidence • Detail with Evidence • Subtopic • Detail with Evidence • Detail with Evidence • Detail with Evidence • ... Where you need to be… How should you organize your information?

  21. Introduction to Topic Academic Paper Literature Review Goal: Educate and then justify Put your subtopics in order Definitions or Details for Audience Understanding BOK Connection and Multiple Perspectives Preparing to Justify RQ/RS Justification of RQ due to BOK
