  1. Draft 1.2 of the Literature Review Due on Wednesday the 22nd

  2. For Today • Draft 1.2 • Small group workshop • BA 7

  3. Grading on Draft 1.2 • C1—Issue Focus and Identification - Is the scope of the review appropriate? (Is the student trying to write an "epic" literature review?) Is the scope and focus clear? Do you know what topic(s) the student will cover? • C2—Context and Assumptions - Does the student establish the context for the articles which he or she discusses?  Does the student indicate the importance or need for this review by accurately summarizing the critical context of the issue in general? • C3—Sources and Evidence - Has the student accurately quoted and cited the sources?  How well has the student integrated source material?  Does the student use appropriate sources? • C4—Diverse Perspectives - Has the student synthesized articles which express varying viewpoints on the topic?  How effective is the synthesis throughout this draft? Does the student synthesize the sources, not only summarizing the authors’ perspectives but also providing insight into the significance of the authors’ contributions and their relationship to each other?

  4. C5—Own Perspective - Has the student expressed a clear purpose for reviewing the research on the topic?  Is the student’s voice appropriate for a literature review (i.e., does the student summarize and synthesize the sources rather than creating an argument, an extended annotated bibliography, or a research paper?) • C6—Conclusion - Does the conclusion explain how the summary and synthesis enabled the student to achieve his or her purpose? • C7—Communication - Has the student organized the research in a clear, effective manner? Does this organization make sense? How effective is the student’s communication at the sentence level?

  5. Draft 1.2 • Objective: To develop skills for revising your writing. This assignment enables you to revisit your literature review and apply suggestions from your instructors and peers to produce a polished final draft. • Description: To complete this assignment, you will expand and revise the first draft of your literature review, draft 1.1. Remember, your literature review must do more than just summarize the information. A literature review discusses previously published information about a particular topic or issue in order to accomplish the following: • • show readers what has been written about a topic, so that they can understand a particular development of ideas concerning that topic • • explain to readers why certain ideas or theories concerning a topic are being challenged or re-examined by researchers • • help readers understand more about why a topic is being examined by a researcher in a particular way • Use the guidelines that you developed for Draft 1.1 to assist you in revising your literature review. Your review will discuss at least eight sources, all of which must be located via the TTU library databases and online catalog. • Minimum word count: 1500 words • Format: MLA style for internal citations and works cited.

  6. Group Work • Get into groups of two or three. • Swap papers and comment on the intro • Comment on one body paragraph • Comment on conclusion • Discuss what you found

  7. Group Work • In  your groups,  discuss  your  reflections  and  revision   plans. • As  you  read  your  commentary what  did  you  realize  or  figure  out? • Are  there  still  portions  of  your  commentary  that  are   confusing? • What  revisions  have  you  made?  What  revisions  do  you  still   need  to  make?

  8. Next Class • Reading on the syllabus • Look at the preparation assignment (I am not requiring that you do it but it will be helpful in preparing your for the next assignment). • Prep assignment is on blog.

  9. Preparation for 2.1 • After  you  have  submitted  Draft  1.2,  please  go  into  the   syllabus  and  carefully  read  the  instructions  for  Draft  2.1.   • Determining  whether  a  statement  can  be  argued:  11b  of  the   e-­‐handbook.  ␣ Your  topic  MUST  meet  all  3  of  the  criteria.
