The literature review establishes the major themes within your sources. Using the resources collected so far, the literature review of your research paper takes the individual resources and, through synthesis, identifies for your reader the common themes that can be identified between those resources, allowing your reader to gain an understanding of the foundation from which your research project grows without having to be an expert in the subject themselves.
Construct a properly formatted literature review using your sources(3-5 pages). A minimum of 8 scholarly, peer-reviewed resources must be used in your literature review, synthesizing resources based on 3 common themes.
