Overview
Following the essence (p.27) of the //**Critical Analysis of a Text (Figure 1.3, 28-30)**//, we found our individual answers framed our discussions and then our discussions created the framework for our presentation and this wiki. Why are we reading the text? How is our critical analysis of the text directed us towards a constructive purpose? What review question are we asking? || //**Our review question:**// Using Chapter 9 as a structure and form exemplar of a literature review, what ‘lessons’ can we glean when writing our own literature review? || Based on our review question above, what are the authors of the text trying to achieve? What are they attempting to communicate to their target audience? || //**Our focus:**// We made a conscious decision to use the authors' content in our examples and focus on the structure and form. As mentioned in our synopsis, we agreed that we would not be able to duplicate the authors' writing in our own writing within two weeks. Instead, we chose to focus on structure and form. || Based on our authors' critique above, what different aspects of the text demonstrate structure and form lessons we should remember when we write our literature review? || //**Our examples:**// We chose text sections that What have we gained from the process we outlined above? || //**Our responses:**// Our handout with our synopsis provides the lessons we have learned from reading, critiquing and discussing this text. We also wanted to provide other resources that might supplement our peers' journeys. ||
