Part I: Annotated Bibliography “Literature Review”
Given that a thorough literature review can takes months of research, and result in hundreds of sources, you will not be doing an actual literature review. Instead, you are going to do a very short annotated bibliography. An annotated bibliography is a reference citation followed by a summary of the source. Scholars use them to organize the existing literature on a subject they are researching. You will need to find two (2) peer-reviewed journal articles that relate directly to your research topic. An example of an annotated bibliography is located in the overview tab titled ASA Citation Guide.
Part II: Design Your Research Project
How might you conduct research on this topic? Review the steps in the research process as outlined and discussed in Chapter Two of the textbook and online lessons. You must address each of the steps in the research process, define your dependent and independent variable, and discuss the ethical issues you must take into consideration.
