Assignment Summary

Your Synthesis Literature Review should be at least 1000 words long and use at least seven (7) sources.
How Your Synthesis Literature Review (WA #2) relates to the Proposal Memo (WA #1) and the Research Report (WA #4)
The Synthesis Literature Review is the "middle step" in the sequence of assignments in WRTG 394. In the Proposal Memo, WA #1, you chose your topic by identifying a problem in your workplace or community (neighborhood) and proposing one or more possible solutions. In the Synthesis Literature Review, WA #2, you will write a paper that looks at what your sources say about your topic and reports that information to readers discussing how sources agree, disagree, add to each other's work, and diverge from your topic (this is what is called synthesis - you synthesize - bring together by showing relationships between - your sources in relation to their themes and your topic). This kind of reporting on and reviewing your sources will help you understand the sources you have found better and help you do a better job of using them to identify your problem and offer one or more possible solutions in the Research Report, WA #3.
What You Must Provide for WA #2, the Synthesis Literature Review
Your review has a clear thesis that explains to readers that you will report on and review the sources you have gathered based on themes you have identified in those sources.
Your review uses headings for every section (see below for a template).
In each section that discusses a theme you have identified in the sources, you report what each source has to say about the theme and discuss how sources agree, disagree, add to each other's work on the theme, and where any sources diverge from other sources in exploring the theme.
Your review meets word length requirements and follows correct business style.
Your review uses American Psychological Association (APA) 7th edition citation style for citing sources within the text of your paper and in providing a reference page.
