Annotated Bibliography Outline

Assignment 3 – Topic Outline (5 points) Using the annotated bibliography from Assignment 2, the student will develop an outline to organize the 10 peer-reviewed journal articles (based on empirical research and derived from primary sources) used in Assignment 2 in a meaningful way. (Note: These SHOULD be the same sources used in Assignment 2; however, if any of the 10 sources used in Assignment 2 were not peer-reviewed journal articles based on empirical research and derived from primary sources then additional sources will need to be included – please check with your professor to determine the appropriateness of any new articles). The student will use this outline to develop a coherent literature review in Assignment 4. Relevant references should be cited next to each of your topics, as well as included at the end of the assignment in a references list. Make sure you address any APA errors pointed out in Assignment 2. The outline should be no more than 1 page in length.

Topic Outline

Before beginning to write your topic outline, make sure you have read Chapter 8 of the Galvan text (part of your Week 10 Activities). A topic outline is a roadmap to organize your articles. Begin by looking for common themes in your 10 articles and group them accordingly. Instead of naming each by the article title, group them with short themes/topics.
