How to turn your annotated bibliography into a literature review?

The first thing that you will want to do is look back on your annotated bibliography and start organizing your readings by themes, patterns and sub-topics. You’ll want to turn these into separate sections (or at least paragraphs) that will tell a story about your topic. This story won’t summarize the articles one at a time but instead will paint a picture of your topic by theme.Once you’ve identified your key themes… which ones need more detail?!?! You will need to find at least 4 additional sources to fill in your literature review.

Literature Review

Tell your project’s story! Organize your 12 readings (8 from the previous assignment, and plz find new 4 readings) by themes, patterns and sub-topics. You’ll want to turn these into separate sections (or at least paragraphs) that will tell a narrative about your topic. This section should not summarize the articles one at a time but instead will paint a picture of your topic by theme.

Read the information linked “Profits and Property” and “Micro-Credit.” It will introduce you to “micro-credit” – this is a concept that has demonstrated that by giving individual families small amounts of money – as little as $25 a month to buy yarn for weaving or a goat to produce milk and cheese – allows them to double and triple their yearly income- greatly improving their lives, their children and extended family. Micro credit is called Social Business – it means making a profit from the poor in the world. This concept seems like a good idea if the purpose is to do good to people who are suffering through no fault of their own, however there are many companies that now see the “bottom of the pyramid” or the poor as a great opportunity to increase profits by selling them things like cell phones, TV’s, or designer shoes. Do they have a right to spend their money on items they want; to become consumers like us? What is your moral responsibility to others?

Description:  For your final essay, I would like you to think about a problem that impacts you on a daily basis. This could be an issue that you encounter through your job, on Broward College’s campus, or in your individual community. For instance, you might focus on employers who monitor their employees’ social media accounts, a minimum wage that doesn’t not cover current costs of living, restrictive college textbook costs, a lack of local leash laws in your city, etc. Then, you must argue for a particular change that you would like to occur in order to resolve this problem. 

WRITING TASKS:

·    Before you begin your essay, you should choose which stance you will take on the topic (i.e., are you for the topic, against it, or some combination of both). Then, develop a strong, specific thesis that argues a specific claim about that topic (i.e., don’t simply argue “I am for ______” or “I am against ______”). Remember that you must argue about a specific change that you want to see happen in order to rectify your issue.
