Compare and contrast at least 3 of your sources
Interpret information across sources
Synthesize common ideas across sources
If appropriate, work with arguments

4 paragraphs or 2 ½ pages minimum, 3 pages maximum plus Works Cited

Minimum 3 sources required.
Use appropriate and correct in-text and Works Cited documentation.

You may use all of your sources in your Review but the minimum number is 3. Be careful not to fall into the 5-paragraph essay trap with 3 sources, though.
A Review of Literature is not the same thing as a Literary Review.
Most of the models you’ll find will be from the sciences because Reviews of Literature aka Review of Research are either mandatory components of larger scientific research projects or, as in the case of this assignment, an informative essay that brings readers up to date on the state of research as well as familiarizes readers with perspectives, or points of view, on a topic.
