    Margaret C. Andersons Little Review

    Sophia Estante and Lorrie Moore (Mentor), English

    This research looks at the work of Margaret C. Anderson, the editor of theLittle Review. The review published first works by Sherwood Anderson,James Joyce, Wyndham Lewis, and Ezra Pound. This research draws uponmostly primary sources including memoirs, published letters, and a completecollection of the Little Review. Most prior research on Anderson focuses onher connection to the famous writers and personalities that she published andassociated with. This focus undermines her role as the dominant creativeforce behind one of the most influential little magazines published in the 20thCentury. This case example shows how little magazine publishing is arguablya literary art.

    "The Commemoration and Memorialization of theAmerican Revolution

    Benjamin Herman and Jean Lee (Mentor), History

    This project involves discovering how the American Revolution was

    remembered during the nineteenth century. The goal is to show that theAmerican Revolution was memorialized by the actions of the United Statesgovernment during the 1800s. This has been done by examining events suchas the Supreme Court cases of John Marshall and the Nullification Crisis.Upon examination of these events, it becomes clear that John Marshall andJohn Calhoun (creator of the Doctrine of Nullification) attempted to use the

    American Revolution to bolster their claims by citing speeches from FoundingFathers. Through showing that the American Revolution lives on in memory,this research highlights the importance of the revolution in shaping the actionsof the United States government.

    Amanda Babin and Morton Gernbascher (Mentor), Psychology

    The purpose of this research is to identify a subtype of autism calledDevelopmental Verbal Dyspraxia (DVD). DVD is a motor-speech problem,disabling oral-motor movements needed for speaking. The first phase of the

    project involves a screening interview where we identify DVD and Non-DVDkids. We also use home videos to validate answers on the screeninginterview. The final phase involves home visits where we use severalassessments to confirm the childs diagnosis and examine the connectionbetween manual and oral motor challenges. By identifying DVD as a subtypeof Autism, we will eliminate the assumption that all Autistics have the samecharacteristics. This will allow for more individual consideration of Autisticpeople and may direct future research on the genetic factors in autism.

    The Tony Hawk Learning ProjectLauren Silberman and Elisabeth (Betty) Hayes (Mentor), Curriculum &Instruction

    The study is to show how even a sport video game can incorporate manytypes of learning, to call attention to what might be overlooked as significantforms of learning, and to understand and take advantage of the opportunitiesvideo games afford as more deliberate learning environments. The aspectsexplored are the skills and techniques required to be successful in the game,

    the environment that skaters skate in, the personal vs. group identity that isshown through the general appearance of the skater, and the values andicons that the game teaches players. We are finding that sport video gamessupport learning; we hope to find how one learns about oneself as a learnerfrom playing.

    Biogeography of Chemical Defense in Birch

    Trees

    Sarah Brown and Michael Stevens (Mentor), Botany

    The Latitudinal Defense Hypothesis predicts that levels of defense are highestnear the equator and decrease toward the poles. This hypothesis is basedmainly on insect herbivory that occurs during the summer. Mammilian

    herbivory in the winter is a more likely driver of plant defense levels innorthern latitudes. Early successional trees such as birches are favored byfire and provide an important food source for mammals like snowshoe hares.In order to test the Latitudinal Defense Hypothesis, we collected birch seedsfrom eight locations in northwestern Canada and grew seedlings in a common

    garden. We assessed levels of defense by counting resin glands becauseresin glands are negatively correlated with snowshoe hare preference. Thisresearch will provide valuable information regarding the biogeography ofdefense and address the role of fire in plant-mammal interactions on acontinental scale.

    Understanding Cell-Mediated ImmuneResponses Against Simian Immunodeficiency

    Virus (SIV)"Sean Spenser and John Loffredo, David Watkins (Mentors), PrimateResearch Center

    Each day 14,000 people become infected with HIV/AIDS, making thedevelopment of an effective vaccine one of the worlds top public healthpriorities. David Watkins laboratory is attempting to develop HIV vaccinesthat elicit cellular immune responses utilizing the simian immunodeficiencyvirus (SIV)infected rhesus macaque animal model. A major component of

    the cell-mediated immune response are cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTL). It isthought that CTL play an important role in controlling HIV and SIV. Moststandard immunological assays do not measure antiviral activity directly,limiting our understanding of CTL effectiveness. To address this, the Watkinslaboratory developed a novel neutralization assay that quantifies the ability ofvirus-specific CTL populations to control viral growth. Evaluating the antiviralactivity of CTL of different specificities will identify those CTL most effectiveagainst SIV. This information will likely impact the design of future HIVvaccines.

    The Genetics of Bone Strength in Mice

    Jonathan Vu and Robert Blank (Mentor), Endocrinology

    The purpose of this study is to identify relationships between the physical andgenetic characteristics of bones in mice. The physical characteristics includesize, density, and the force required to break the bone, while the genetic ones

  • 8/11/2019 Humanities Abstracts

    are the genes of the marker loci associated with the genes that affect thesequalities. This study uses strains of mice with reduced genetic variation. Thetwo strains of mice that are the most phenotypically extreme, meaning thosewith the strongest and weakest bones, are crossed. The F2 generation fromthat cross is then analyzed. The results of this analysis can be used to find

    which genotypes correlate with specific bone properties like size, density, andfailure load. The anticipated outcome of this lab is the identification of thegenotypes that affect bone strength in mice. The findings may be useful intreating medical conditions that are related to bone strength.

    Southeast Asian Political Action Committee:Democracy at Work!

    Lauren Breshahan and Marlys Macken (Mentor), Linguistics

    Upon receiving the Wisconsin Idea Undergraduate Fellowship the summerand fall 2003 semesters were spent designing and implementing a HmongPolitical Council, Inc. (HPC). The fellowship addressed the immediate needfelt by our local government and the Hmong refugee community to develop a

    political voice expressing the economic, political, and social needs of theHmong refugee community. It was implemented through the collaboration ofthe United Refugee Services of Wisconsin, Professor Macken, the Hmongcommunity, and myself. Extensive research was conducted at the local, state,and national level involving the studying of IRS requirements, lobbying rights,other political councils, and the needs of the Wisconsin Hmong community.HPC is now a legal non-profit organization that has held two fundraisers,released press statements, and worked with State and National politicalfigures to address the needs of the Hmong community. Within the year HPCplans to be lobbying at the state level.

    Fostering H.O.P.E.: Helping Overcome Povertythrough Education for Teen Moms

    Angela Cunningham and Sherrill Sellers (Mentor), Social Work

    5/22

    This program was designed to address the prevalent issues of teenparenthood and poverty. The idea was to introduce and reinforce theimportance of obtaining a post secondary education to teen mothers in their

    junior or senior year of high school. The program ran for eight weeks duringthe summer of 2003. Participants met once a week to participate in group

    building activities, get insights to what it will take to finish school, and receiveinformation on services that are available to help them along the way. Theyoung women also had the opportunity to tour the UW and MATC campuses.The participants walked away from the program with a sense of hope that theyare able to pursue their dreams despite their difficult situations.

    Blind Construction: Mixed Media

    Diana Dewi, Jennifer Kittleson, and Wendy Hagedorn (Mentor),Apparel and Textile Design

    The basis of this project was to create a garment using mixed media in orderto mimic the human body. The materials we used to create this piece include:buckram, copper wire, spray paint, fabric paint, a variety of novelty fabrics,and chains. The techniques we created in order to manipulate the piece

    include: fabric branding and burning, grid painting, sewing, draping, moldingbuckram, and coiling. Our overall approach was to create a theatricalwearable art piece. Upon completion of the assignment we found the pieceaesthetically pleasing because of the way it molds to the human body, but canbe a piece all on its own.

    lesson plans. In Chapter 5, we focus on establishing an environment and climate that supports

    both teachers and students. We provide suggestions for organizing the physical space and for

    establishing and introducing classroom rules, guidelines, procedures, and routines. When these

    systematic actions are taken, the resulting environment will be more peaceful and productive.

    Perhaps the most important aspect of explicit instruction is the delivery of lessons. A teachercan design a perfect lesson plan, but if this plan is delivered in a manner that fails to involve or

    engage students, learning will not occur. Because effective delivery of instruction is paramount

    in explicit instruction, two chapters are dedicated to this topic. Chapter 6 presents scientifically

    validated procedures for gaining responses in small or large groups, with abundant examples to

    enliven the procedures. Chapter 7 extends the discussion of delivery skills with an emphasis on

    monitoring students responses, providing feedback on correct and incorrect responses, and

    maintaining a brisk pace that helps to engage students

    Chapter 8 concentrates on a topic too seldom discussed and implemented in classrooms:

    appropriate practice, including initial, distributed, and cumulative practice implemented as

    independent work or homework. If skills, strategies, vocabulary, concepts, or rules are briefly

    introduced without adequate subsequent practice, the result is that students are overexposed

    and underdeveloped, lacking the level of mastery and automaticity needed for effortless

    performance.

    In keeping with the books focus on explicit instruction, we have marshaled the same

    procedures in writing each of the chapters. Each teaching procedure is explained, then modeled

    with example items and lessons and in some cases contrasted with non-example lessons, and

    finally practiced through the application exercises. However, it is difficult to capture in print the

    dynamic, interactive nature of instruction. For this reason, we have established a companion

    website (www.explicitinstruction.org) where you can watch or download video clips of lessonsillustrating the books procedures. Other materials, such as additional example lessons and

    application exercises, are also posted on the website.

    You may be wondering: How does this book fit into a series titled What Works for Special-

    Needs Learners? The answers are intervention and prevention. First,explicit instruction is at

    the heart of scientifically based interventions for special-needslearners in all of the content

    areas covered in previous books in this series: word recognition, reading comprehension,

    writing, and mathematics. Research(see Chapter 1) has made it very clear that interventions for

    special-needs students,whether intensive or strategic, require well-organized,explicit

    instruction thatis unambiguous if they are to thrive academically. Second, explicit instruction

    isalso at the heart of preventionthose actions taken in our schools to reduce thenumber ofstudents requiring strategic or intensive interventions and to promoteachievement gains across

    students. Given that the research supporting explicitinstruction is equally strong in regard to

    teaching academic skills, strategies, andconcepts in general education classes (especially in

    the areas of reading, writing,and mathematics), initial instruction must be clear, explicit, and

    engaging so thatall students can thrive.

    Our desire in writing this book is to support you, the teachers, who have the very demanding

    task of delivering instruction on a daily basis, knowing that the fate of childrens academic

    growth is truly in your hands. As you read these chapters, including the embedded example

    lessons, you will find that they reinforce much of what you already know. Be sure to

    acknowledge your current knowledge. In some cases, you will be reminded of a practice that

    you are currently not using but could include or reinstate within your daily teaching. Finally, we

    hope to expand your knowledge of effective and efficient teaching, for it is our strong belief that

    how well you teach = how well they learn.

    As you will see, effective and efficient explicit instruction requires that we attend to the details of

    instruction because the details do make a significant difference in providing quality instruction

    that promotes growth and success. Thus, we must remember our English teachers mantra:

    Dont forget to dot youris and cross yourts. (Did you miss the designers humor in creating the

    cover?)

    With deep respect and humility, we thank you for your dedication to children and our shared

    profession.

    How to Write an Executive Summary: Why Write It?

    Investors, lenders, executives, managers, and CEOs are busy. Always. That means that the

    executive summary is an essential gateway for your business plan to get read. Think about it this

    way: If you had an endless list of things to do, and someone handed you an 80-page document and

    said "Read this!" you'd probably first want to know why.

    "The most important reason to include an executive summary is that in many cases, it is the only

    thing the reader will read," says Pablo Bonjour, founder and CEO of Katy, Texas-based SMG

    Business Plans, a company that offers entrepreneurs assistance in writing business plans.

    According to Bonjour, investors will read the executive summary to decide if they will even bother

    reading the rest of the business plan. It's rare for an investor or lender to read an entire business

    plan, at least in the initial stages of analysis and consideration for funding, so having a strong

    executive summary is key.

    When you're writing your business plan, your goal is to get your foot in the door and face-time

    with the investor. "Assuming that your business is a good fit for the investor, a strong executive

    summary will get you invited in for a meeting," Hirai says. "A poor executive summary will leave

    you standing in the cold."

    How to Write an Executive Summary: The First Paragraph

    Just as a movie might begin with a fight scene or a magazine article opens with a funny anecdote,you'll need a strong hook for your executive summary.

    "The most important part of an executive summary is the first paragraph that clearly explains what

    the company does," according to Dave Lavinsky, president of Growthink, a Los Angeles-based

    company that helps entrepreneurs develop business plans and raise capital. "Most business plans

    start with a story that tries to create excitement, and this doesn't always work."

    One way to think about it, says Hirai, is that your executive summary needs an executive summary.

    The first paragraph needs to compel the reader to read the rest of the summary. Perhaps you have acompelling "aha!" moment, so you might start with that. If you've identified a problem in the

    marketplace that isn't being adequately serviced, you might start with that, too.

    After describing the elements above, the executive summary should also have a brief financial

    summary. For your financials, Bonjour suggests including the valuation of the deal, so that the

    reader knows right away what the risks are, and what the returns can be.

    Dig Deeper: Executive Summary as a Guiding Light

    How to Write an Executive Summary: Strictly Professional or Humorous? What's the

    Tone?

    This depends on who your readers are. Do your research. If you're presenting your plan to

    investors, make sure the language of the executive summary caters to their backgrounds. For

    example, if you know your investor has a degree in chemical engineering, your language might be

    different from that in the executive summary presented to an investor who studied philosophy.

    In other words, "use language that will resonate with your target audience," says Hirai. Don't beafraid to change your executive summary when you present it to different investors. Consider

    creating different versions for each audience, he says, but make sure that it's always kept

    professional, crisp, and free of any embarrassing errors. Another good tip he gives is to use

    personal pronouns (e.g., "we" and "our") over general nouns (e.g., "the company"). Your reader

    will feel a stronger personal connection with you, your brand, and your idea if you can relate to

    them in the first person.

    Don't forget to be confident, either. If the writer does not clearly believe in this company, says

    Bonjour, why should the reader believe in it? Put yourself in your reader's shoes, and ask yourselfwhy you would want to invest in a company. "Think about it like a job interview or asking a girl

    out on a date," he says. "If you are not confident and don't act like you want it, chances are you

    won't get anywhere."

    How to Write an Executive Summary: The Length

    Remember, every executive summary is--and should be--unique. Depending on the size of the

    business plan or investment proposal you're sending, the executive summary will vary. However,

    the general consensus is that an executive summary should be between one and four pages long.

    Think logically. A two-page summary can be printed on the front and back of a single page, which

    can feel like a professional brochure. And, if you can't tell the essence of your story in a page or

    two, says Hirai, then you probably haven't thought things through well enough.

    Echoing this thought, Bonjour asserts "you can cheat a bit by using smaller fonts, widening your

    margins, shrinking images and tables, but ultimately you need to summarize everything contained

    within the executive summary. After all, it is called a 'summary' for a reason."

    Dig Deeper: How to Refine Your Business Idea

    How to Write an Executive Summary: What to Avoid

    "The reason most business entrepreneurs get executive summaries wrong, is that they believe the

    goal of the executive summary is to get the investors to give them a check," says Lavinsky. "The

    goal of the executive summary is to get the investor to read the business plan or to meet with you."

    With that in mind, clear your vocabularies of any superlatives, clichs, or any claims that can't be

    backed up, he adds. Avoid using terms like "the best," "groundbreaking," "cutting-edge," and

    "world class." "Investors see those words day in and day out," he says, "and eventually they losemeaning."

    How to Write an Executive Summary: Is It Any Good?

    The most important element to any executive summary is a clear, concise, and relevant explanation

    of what your company does. Obviously, you should devote a good portion of your time to reading

    and re-reading the summary. But there are some tricks. Dave Lavinksy shares his litmus test: Have

    a fifth-grader or any non-investor read your executive summary, even just the first paragraph.

    Then, ask them to explain to you what your company does. If they explain it with ease, you'regood. If you hear crickets, you'll need to rework it.

    5. Selected Links to Resources on Writing a Literature Review

    Step 1: Review APA guidelines

    Read through the links provided below on APA guidelines so that you become

    familiar with the common core elements of how to write in APA style: in particular,pay attention to general document guidelines (e.g. font, margins, spacing), title page,

    abstract, body, text citations, quotations.

    Step 2: Decide on a topic

    It will help you considerably if your topic for your literature review is the one on

    which you intend to do your final M.Ed. project, or is in some way related to the topic

    of your final project. However, you may pick any scholarly topic.

    Step 3: Identify the literature that you will review:

    1. Familiarize yourself with online databases (see UMD library resource linksbelow for help with this), identifying relevant databases in your field of study.

    2. Using relevant databases, search for literature sources using Google Scholarand also searching using Furl (search all sources, including the Furl accounts of

    other Furl members). Some tips for identifying suitable literature and

    narrowing your search :

    1. Start with a general descriptor from the database thesaurus or one thatyou know is already a well defined descriptor based on past work that

    you have done in this field. You will need to experiment with differentsearches, such as limiting your search to descriptors that appear only in

    the document titles, or in both the document title and in the abstract.

    2. Redefine your topic if needed: as you search you will quickly find out ifthe topic that you are reviewing is too broad. Try to narrow it to a

    specific area of interest within the broad area that you have chosen

    (remember: this is merely anintroductoryliterature review for Educ

    7001). It is a good idea, as part of your literature search, to look for

    existing literature reviews that have already been written on this topic.

    3. As part of your search, be sure to identify landmark or classic studies

    and theorists as these provide you with a framework/context for yourstudy.

    3. Import your references into your RefWorks account (see:Refworks ImportDirectionsfor guide on how to do this from different databases). You can also

    enter references manually into RefWorks if you need to.

    Step 4: Analyze the literature

    http://web.pdx.edu/~dbls/HowtoWriteLiteratureReview.htmhttp://web.pdx.edu/~dbls/HowtoWriteLiteratureReview.htmhttp://www.duluth.umn.edu/lib/refworks/databases.htmhttp://www.duluth.umn.edu/lib/refworks/databases.htmhttp://www.duluth.umn.edu/lib/refworks/databases.htmhttp://www.duluth.umn.edu/lib/refworks/databases.htmhttp://www.duluth.umn.edu/lib/refworks/databases.htmhttp://www.duluth.umn.edu/lib/refworks/databases.htmhttp://web.pdx.edu/~dbls/HowtoWriteLiteratureReview.htm
  • 8/11/2019 Humanities Abstracts

    17/22

    Once you have identified and located the articles for your review, you need to analyze

    them and organize them before you begin writing:

    1. Overview the articles: Skim the articles to get an idea of the general purposeand content of the article (focus your reading here on the abstract, introduction

    and first few paragraphs, the conclusion of each article. Tip: as you skim thearticles, you may want to record the notes that you take on each directly into

    RefWorks in the box for User 1. You can take notes onto note cards or into a

    word processing document instead or as well as using RefWorks, but having

    your notes in RefWorks makes it easy to organize your notes later.

    2. Group the articles into categories(e.g. into topics and subtopics andchronologically within each subtopic). Once again, it's useful to enter this

    information into your RefWorks record. You can record the topics in the same

    box as before (User 1) or use User 2 box for the topic(s) under which you have

    chosen to place this article.

    3. Take notes:1. Decide on the format in which you will take notes as you read the

    articles (as mentioned above, you can do this in RefWorks. You can also

    do this using a Word Processor, or a concept mapping program like

    Inspiration (free 30 trial download), a data base program (e.g. Access or

    File Maker Pro), in an Excel spreadsheet, or the "old-fashioned" way of

    using note cards. Be consistent in how you record notes.

    2. Define key terms: look for differences in the way keys terms are defined(note these differences).

    3.Note key statistics that you may want to use in the introduction to yourreview.

    4. Select useful quotes that you may want to include in yourreview.Important: If you copy the exact words from an article, be sure

    to cite the page number as you will need this should you decide to use

    the quote when you write your review (as direct quotes must always be

    accompanied by page references). To ensure that you have quoted

    accurately (and to save time in note taking), if you are accessing the

    article in a format that allows this, you can copy and paste using your

    computer "edit --> copy --> paste" functions. Note: although you may

    collect a large number of quotes during the note taking phase of yourreview, when you write the review, use quotes very sparingly. The rule I

    follow is to quote only when when some key meaning would be lost in

    translation if I were to paraphrase the original author's words, or if using

    the original words adds special emphasis to a point that I am making.

    5.Note emphases, strengths & weaknesses: Since different research studiesfocus on different aspects of the issue being studied, each article that you

    http://www.inspiration.com/freetrial/index.cfmhttp://www.inspiration.com/freetrial/index.cfmhttp://www.inspiration.com/freetrial/index.cfmhttp://www.inspiration.com/freetrial/index.cfm
  • 8/11/2019 Humanities Abstracts

    18/22

    read will have different emphases, strengths. and weaknesses. Your role

    as a revieweristo evaluate what you read, so that your review is not a

    mere description of different articles, but rather a critical analysis that

    makes sense of the collection of articles that you are reviewing. Critique

    the research methodologies used in the studies, and distinguish between

    assertions (the author's opinion) and actual research findings (derivedfrom empirical evidence).

    6. Identify major trends or patterns: As you read a range of articles on yourtopic, you should make note of trends and patterns over time as reported

    in the literature. This step requires you to synthesize and make sense of

    what you read, since these patterns and trends may not be spelled out in

    the literature, but rather become apparent to you as you review the big

    picture that has emerged over time. Your analysis can make

    generalizations across a majority of studies, but should also note

    inconsistencies across studies and over time.

    7. Identify gaps in the literature, and reflect on why these might exist(based on the understandings that you have gained by reading literature

    in this field of study). These gaps will be important for you to address as

    you plan and write your review.

    8. Identify relationships among studies: note relationships among studies,such as which studies were landmark ones that led to subsequent studies

    in the same area. You may also note that studies fall into different

    categories (categories that you see emerging or ones that are already

    discussed in the literature). When you write your review, you should

    address these relationships and different categories and discuss relevantstudies using this as a framework.

    9. Keep your review focused on your topic: make sure that the articles youfind are relevant and directly related to your topic. As you take notes,

    record which specific aspects of the article you are reading are relevant

    to your topic (as you read you will come up with key descriptors that you

    can record in your notes that will help you organize your findings when

    you come to write up your review). If you are using an electronic form

    of note taking, you might note these descriptors in a separate field (e.g.

    in RefWorks, put these under User 2 or User 3; in Excel have a separate

    column for each descriptor; if you use Inspiration, you might attach aseparate note for key descriptors.

    10.Evaluate your references for currency and coverage: Although you canalways find more articles on your topic, you have to decide at what point

    you are finished with collecting new resources so that you can focus on

    writing up your findings. However, before you begin writing, you must

    evaluate your reference list to ensure that it is up to date and has reported

  • 8/11/2019 Humanities Abstracts

    19/22

    the most current work. Typically a review will cover the last five years,

    but should also refer to any landmark studies prior to this time if they

    have significance in shaping the direction of the field. If you include

    studies prior to the past five years that arenotlandmark studies, you

    should defend why you have chosen these rather than more current ones.

    Step 5: Summarize the literature in table or concept map format

    1. Galvan (2006) recommends building tables as a key way to help you overview,organize, and summarize your findings, and suggests that including one or

    more of the tables that you create may be helpful in your literature review. If

    youdoinclude tables as part of your review each must be accompanied by an

    analysis that summarizes, interprets and synthesizes the literature that you have

    charted in the table. You can plan your table or do the entire summary chart of

    your literature using a concept map (such as usingInspiration)

    1. You can create the table using the table feature within Microsoft Word,or can create it initially in Excel and then copy and paste/import the the

    Excel sheet into Word once you have completed the table in Excel. The

    advantage of using Excel is that it enables you to sort your findings

    according to a variety of factors (e.g. sort by date, and then by author;

    sort by methodology and then date)

    2. Examples of tables that may be relevant to your review:1. Definitions of key terms and concepts.2. Research methods3. Summary of research results

    Step 6: Synthesize the literature prior to writing your review

    Using the notes that you have taken and summary tables, develop an outline of your

    final review. The following are the key steps as outlined by Galvan (2006: 71-79)

    1. Consider your purpose and voice before beginning to write. In the case of thisEduc 7001 introductory literature review, your initial purpose is to provide an

    overview of the topic that is of interest to you, demonstrating your

    understanding of key works and concepts within your chosen area of focus.

    You are also developing skills in reviewing and writing, to provide afoundation on which you will build in subsequent courses within your M.Ed.

    and ultimately in your final project. In your final project your literature review

    should demonstrate your command of your field of study and/or establishing

    context for a study that you have done.

    2. Consider how you reassemble your notes: plan how you will organize yourfindings into a unique analysis of the picture that you have captured in your

    http://www.inspiration.com/freetrial/index.cfmhttp://www.inspiration.com/freetrial/index.cfmhttp://www.inspiration.com/freetrial/index.cfmhttp://www.inspiration.com/freetrial/index.cfm
  • 8/11/2019 Humanities Abstracts

    20/22

    notes.Important:A literature review isnotseries of annotations (like an

    annotated bibliography). Galvan (2006:72) captures the difference between an

    annotated bibliography and a literature review very well: "...in essence, like

    describing trees when you really should be describing a forest. In the case of a

    literature review, you are really creating a new forest, which you will build by

    using the trees you found in the literature you read."3. Create a topic outline that traces your argument: first explain to the reader your

    line or argument (or thesis); then your narrative that follows should explain and

    justify your line of argument. You may find the program Inspiration useful in

    mapping out your argument (and once you have created this in a concept map

    form,Inspirationenables you to convert this to a text outline merely by clicking

    on the "outline" button). This can then be exported into a Microsoft Word

    document.

    4. Reorganize your notes according to the path of your argument5. Within each topic heading, note differences among studies.6. Within each topic heading, look for obvious gaps or areas needing more

    research.

    7. Plan to describe relevant theories.8. Plan to discuss how individual studies relate to and advance theory9. Plan to summarize periodically and, again near the end of the review10.Plan to present conclusions and implications11.Plan to suggest specific directions for future research near the end of the review12.Flesh out your outline with details from your analysis

    Step 7: Writing the review (Galvan, 2006: 81-90)

    1. Identify the broad problem area, but avoid global statements2. Early in the review, indicate why the topic being reviewed is important3. Distinguish between research finding and other sources of information4. Indicate why certain studies are important5. If you are commenting on the timeliness of a topic, be specific in describing the

    time frame

    6. If citing a classic or landmark study, identify it as such7. If a landmark study was replicated, mention that and indicate the results of the

    replication8. Discuss other literature reviews on your topic9. Refer the reader to other reviews on issues that you will not be discussing in

    details

    10.Justify comments such as, "no studies were found."11.Avoid long lists of nonspecific references

    http://www.inspiration.com/freetrial/index.cfmhttp://www.inspiration.com/freetrial/index.cfmhttp://www.inspiration.com/freetrial/index.cfmhttp://www.inspiration.com/freetrial/index.cfm
  • 8/11/2019 Humanities Abstracts

    21/22

    12.If the results of previous studies are inconsistent or widely varying, cite themseparately

    13.Cite all relevant references in the review section of thesis, dissertation, orjournal article

    Step 8: Developing a coherent essay (Galvan, 2006: 91-96)

    1. If your review is long, provide an overview near the beginning of the review2.Near the beginning of a review, state explicitly what will and will not be

    covered

    3. Specify your point of view early in the review: this serves as the thesisstatement of the review.

    4. Aim for a clear and cohesive essay that integrates the key details of theliterature and communicates your point of view (a literature is not a series of

    annotated articles).

    5. Use subheadings, especially in long reviews6. Use transitions to help trace your argument7. If your topic teaches across disciplines, consider reviewing studies from each

    discipline separately

    8. Write a conclusion for the end of the review: Provide closure so that the path ofthe argument ends with a conclusion of some kind. How you end the review,

    however, will depend on your reason for writing it. If the review was written to

    stand alone, as is the case of a term paper or a review article for publication, the

    conclusion needs to make clear how the material in the body of the review has

    supported the assertion or proposition presented in the introduction. On the

    other hand, a review in a thesis, dissertation, or journal article presenting

    original research usually leads to the research questions that will be addressed.

    9. Check the flow of your argument for coherence.
