Description
You will now gather the information for your literature review, both from your previous research course and your work in Week 2. The themes and categories that you developed in Week 2 now advance one step when you write one paragraph summarizing each theme.
The end of a literature review is preparation for analysis and integration into your study. As with any writing, revision is essential, so review your literature review and ensure that it follows the assignment directions and/or your outline. Present your information in the most concise language possible, using social work terminology and avoiding jargon or slang. Double check that you have documented your sources employing APA style.
For this Assignment, recall articles you used in Week 2, identify the categories and subcategories you will use to group your articles into common themes, and then summarize each theme in one paragraph.
