*Attached you will find the Annotated Bibliography and the topic in the end is an attempt to solve the homeless crisis in my community of Long Beach, CA. Note: A faith-based approach must be mentioned.
Instructions:
Develop an outline to plan the structure of your paper and organize your points logically. Make sure that you are synthesizing information from your sources and constructing reasonable arguments with appropriate claims and evidence. Also in your literature review you should be incorporating your faith and how it relates to the research topic/community problem you are addressing. Make sure this is also addressed in your outline.
You will be writing your literature review in the next module, which will be a 2 week module. Your final literature review should be 10-12 pages in length and pull from a minimum of 10 scholarly sources (8 of which must be peer-reviewed journal articles). With this in mind your outline should be substantial and detailed. As you list your sub points throughout your outline you should note which of your sources contains information to address this point. In doing this it will help you to organize your sources. It will also help you to see where you might be lacking in sources and will need to conduct a bit more research.
As you are writing your outline keep the following in mind:
The purpose of a literature review is to convey to the reader what knowledge and ideas have been established on a topic as well as the strengths and weaknesses of that information. The literature review allows the reader to be brought up to date regarding the state of research in the field and familiarizes the reader with any contrasting perspectives and viewpoints on the topic. There are good reasons for beginning a literature review before starting a research project. These reasons include:
To see what has and has not been investigated.
To develop a general explanation for observed variations in a behavior or phenomenon.
To identify potential relationships between concepts and to identify researchable hypotheses.
To learn how others have defined and measured key concepts.
To identify data sources that other researchers have used.
To discover how a research project is related to the work of others.
(Literature Review, n.d.)
In general the guiding principle when writing your literature review is to educate your reader on your overall research topic, share with your reader what is known in the literature, discuss any gaps in knowledge related to your topic, and clarify why your proposed research study or community action plan is both needed and logical.
