I just submitted what I'm hoping will pass for a literature review. I know we discussed it in-depth in class, but it just doesn't make sense to me. The term literature review makes me think that I am to review my research and point out the main themes and where they fit in to my overall argument. But wait, didn't I write a 10 page annotated bibliography that was supposed to do that?
Maybe I am supposed to pull out quotes and valuable information from my research that I will use to support my argument, then piece them together so that they flow in a logical manner. That sounds an awful lot like a research paper to me.
In short, what I sent in was a very short, sketchy first draft of my final paper. Is that the idea? I seem to remember hearing something between claps of thunder in class that we are writing our paper in pieces so its less intimidating. If that's the case than I have a pretty good start.
