Provide a review of the 2 articles included with the directions as follows:
Introduction
A concise definition of a topic under consideration, as well as the scope of the related literature being investigated.
Did taking Mexican American Studies raise student achievement on the Arizona state standardized test?
The introduction should also note intentional exclusions.
Another purpose of the introduction is to state the general findings of the review (what do most of the sources conclude), and comment on the availability of sources in the subject area.
There are many ways to organize the evaluation of the sources. Chronological and thematic approaches are each useful example.
Each work should be critically summarized and evaluated for its premise, methodology, and conclusion. It is as important to address inconsistencies, omissions, and errors, as it is to identify accuracy, depth, and relevance.
Use logical connections and transitions to connect sources.
Conclusion
The conclusion summarizes the key findings of the review in general terms. Notable commonalities between works, whether favorable or not, may be included here.
This section is the reviewer’s opportunity to justify a research proposal. Therefore, the idea should be clearly re-stated and supported according to the findings of the review.
