Literature Review

You will be conducting a study and writing a scholarly paper to report your findings. IN THIS STUDY YOU WILL BE A VETERINARIAN WHO IS STUDYING THE CORRELATION BETWEEN THE WATER AND ANIMAL LIFE (OR EXTINCTION) IN THE EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK. 

Write a literature review. The purpose of a literature review is to acquaint your readers with all of the background information that they need to know about your topic so that they will understand how your study fits into the larger scale of things, how it contributes to the overall academics.

You may find that you need to add new resources that were not in your annotated bibliography, and you may decide  that some sources you had found are not actually useful.

Make sure that you write in your own words. You should be paraphrasing the information form your sources, not quoting, because you want to demonstrate understanding of the material. Even though you will be paraphrasing, you still need to cite. 

The first half of your literature review will focus on SCIENTIFIC aspects of your topic, whereas the second half will focus on the CULTURAL aspects. Label these two sections with BOLD SUBTITLES (CULTURAL & SCIENTIFIC) 

7 TO 10 PAGES FOR THE LITERATURE REVIEW
