Day 23: Lit Review Source Synthesis Revisited + Peer Review Part I

Today's Objectives:

• Continue practicing organizing our lit review content into themes
• Provide peer feedback regarding organization of paper
• Workshop Lit Review revisions
  

Part I: Review Lit Review Basics [3:30-3:45 (15min)]

Your reader wants to know:

• Why should I read this?
• Where does this paper fit into the conversation?

Three moves to create a research space:

• Move 1: Establish a research territory (explain the topic) 

 How do we do this?

• Move 2: Establish a niche (find the gap/problem) 

How do we do this? 

• Move 3: Occupy the niche (explain your thesis statement) 

How do we do this?
