This is a persuasive paper in which you choose a topic you wish to explore, and take a position. You will research and summarize the arguments in favor of your position, articulate the arguments against your position, and combine evidence and reason to justify your claims and support your position.
A literature review is not a summary but a synthesis of the material you have read. The idea is to take your sources and organize them in some way that informs the reader about the ‘state of knowledge’ regarding the topic you wish to write about. This requires that you pull your sources together in a way that explains to the reader why the issue/topic/problem you have identified is worth studying, and concludes with a position statement or hypothesis that is expressly stated and supported by the evidence.
