Pre-AP Literature Review

Below you will find some helpful information for writing your literature review.  I have included a copy of two literature reviews.  One was done by Mrs. Livingood and the other by myself.  You will find the one done by Mrs. Livingood is extremly detailed and contains more material than what you need.  In my literature review there is not as much detail as I would like for you to have for this project; however it give you a good idea as to what a short lit review can look like (mine was only over one piece of literature).
