Lit Review Rundown

So, friends, as promised! Some info about Lit Reviews.

Believe it or not, the most comprehensive resource guide I've found comes from Baltimore Public School. Whodathunkit! It's HERE.

Note that a lit review, unlike an annotated bibliography, is written in paragraph form like an essay.

Also, here is the rubric I'll use to grade the LR. Keep in mind that formatting and standards for Lit Reviews vary widely, so be sure to use THESE standards (and no others) to create and format your LR:


CONTENT

Includes your project question, clearly stated in italics, at the top of the first page
Integrates citation, content, and analysis of each of the five sources required for the research project
Compares, contrasts, and categorizes the sources to determine how to speak to the research topic
Compares, contrasts, and categorizes the sources to determine how to speak to one another

STRUCTURE

Is organized into clear paragraphs according to defined categories

STYLE

Is written in a formal scholarly voice, omitting the first person

CITATION

Includes in-text citations for all outside quotations, facts and ideas
Includes an APA formatting works cited page


Good luck and have fun!
