Literature Review Outline

The goal of this assignment is to demonstrate synthesis as you determine the order in which you will discuss
your sources. Be sure to highlight how/where you plan to synthesize 2+ sources. Do not include any
annotations or elaborate on any one source (you will do that in the actual lit review), but instead note which
sources correspond to each point or detail of focus and which you plan to present more detailed information.
All 5 sources must be cited in the literature review and a full reference list posted at the end of the outline (on
its own page). Use proper APA formatting on paper (including title page), citations, and reference list.
