Summarize your project and preview some findings here. Think of this section as the map and the “ad” for the research paper to follow. Background or Literature Review (5 pages) What are the key issues and problems in this area of study? Are there studies closely related to yours? What did they find? You will need to find, read, and synthesize at least six recent studies.Review, compare, contrast, and critique these studies as they relate to your study. Overall you want to have answered the questions–“what do we know already in this area, what are the key questions, and how does my study fit in?” (I will also send my research proposal and scholarly articles. Please use the material that I give you.)
