Prepare a 5-6 minute slide presentation (e.g., PowerPoint or Google slides) in which you relay the central findings of your literature review. Your presentation will be followed by a 2-3 minute Q&A session. In your presentation, you should do the following:
Introduce your topic, research question, and project rationale/background. What are you studying? Why are you studying it? What information does the reader need to know about your field before considering your research question(s)?
Outline the central takeaway of your literature review and discuss the dominant themes and trends. Now that your literature review is completed, what is the major finding you have come to? Is there a consensus on a particular issue that is highly relevant to your study? Is there a gap in your field that your work will address? What highly relevant themes or trends have you observed in the literature?
Provide an explanation of each theme or trend. Take time to give your audience a sense of the current state of the research landscape and how this landscape came to be.
Outline the implications this review has for your research moving forward. With the literature now reviewed, what direction might your study take? What themes, trends, or gaps in the literature inform this direction?
Briefly reflect on your own research and writing process. How and why did your research and writing process change over the course of the term? What research and writing practices have you been using in other courses? How might your research and writing process continue to improve in the next several years?
