Conduct a literature review to explain a potential topic of interest (1-3 pages).
Provide a suitable working title that captures the essence of the topic.
Describe the topic you wish to explore for your argument-in-practice research. Your description of the topic can be broadly or narrowly defined. The essential requirement is that your description and explanation is sufficiently detailed so that somebody reading this will have a clear understanding of the central message you are attempting to convey.
Explain why the topic is personally and/or professionally relevant to you.
Your topic description must be supported by at least five peer-reviewed articles published within the past five years related to your selected topic. Do not include book chapters, books, editorials, white papers, trade magazine articles, or non-peer-reviewed sources.
Create an annotation for each of the five articles that you located in Part 1. Begin each annotation with an APA formatted reference. Then, annotate the source with a block paragraph. The annotation should be double spaced, 200-250 words.
The following prompts can be used to craft the summary of the annotated sources:
Provide a brief synopsis of the main points made in the article.
What was the problem the researcher(s) addressed?
What was the purpose of this research?
What are the research questions?
What research design and methods were employed in this research?
What were the findings or results of the research?
Conclude with your assessment of the overall quality of the article and the implications for future research.
After completing Parts 1 and 2, reflect on what insights you have developed about your topic. Summarize and discuss key themes that emerge from the articles that you reviewed to illustrate what you have learned (1-2 pages).
To address each component of this assignment, be sure to structure your presentation clearly using appropriate headings and subheadings.
