Dolores DAnna S----------PREPARING TO WRITE YOUR LITERATURE REVIEW Based on your reading about your topic, what are

the 3-5 most important things that someone interested in your topic needs to know? 1. Some effects of eating disorders, bulimia, and anorexia are caused by modeling. 2. The role of photo-shop how it has changed the way society sees things. 3. The social media and internet has a huge impact on how they want to vision models; because of the internet, the topic and information has spread to a lot of people very easily and it has also given the critics a way to discuss, complain, and blow things out of proportion. 4. Every company has a reason and a market strategy to whom they select to sell their products to 5. The aesthetic labor between the model and the fashion industry based on the company and the bodily capital. Are there any terms that are used in specific ways that you need to define for people unfamiliar with this research (for example, intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation)? If so, write them here: Now pull out your annotated bibliography. Under each of the 3-5 points (above), list the authors/researchers whose ideas and research you would want to cite for that point. The same research can be cited under multiple points. 1) Koskie, Brandi and Pearson, Catherine 2) Huffington Post Style (no author known) and Kelsey, Linda 3) Greenfield, Rebecca. 4) Levinson, Sean 5) Melago, Carrie. What is missing from the research that you read? What hasnt been done? What needs to be studied more closely? There can be multiple things that are missing, but one of them will become your niche. The models side of the story into what is it truly like in the fashion industry: Model aesthetic?, Body image?, and Body capital? So now you have the skeleton of your literature review! You can make each point a heading. Under each heading, try beginning with a main claim, in your own words, about that idea or point. And then start pulling in the ideas and researchers of other people to help flesh out the idea. Look at the example lit reviews on webcourses to help you.

A literature review is a piece of discursive prose, not a list describing or summarizing one piece of literature after another. It's usually a bad sign to see every paragraph beginning with the name of a researcher. Instead, organize the literature review into sections that present themes or identify trends,

You are not trying to list all the material published, but to synthesize and evaluate it according to the guiding concept of your thesis or research question (Taylor). http://www.writing.utoronto.ca/advice/specific-types-of-writing/literature-review Also see: http://guides.ucf.edu/content.php?pid=70740&sid=633760 For homework, read a sample literature review in your field. I have posted several here in the Literature Review module and you are also welcome to find one on your own. Complete a journal entry about the literature review that you read for homework.
