Literature Review
For this assignment you must prepare a literature review on a topic of your choice. A literature review is nothing more than what it sounds like—a review of the literature on a specific topic. You must find at least 7 sources, read them, and summarize them in one paper.
Your library search may be on any area of communication that has been or will be discussed in class. It is advised that you choose a topic in which you are interested. Your paper should adhere to standard written work guidelines as cited in the syllabus.
Specifics:
• You must have at least seven sources.
• At least four citations must come from scholarly journals.
• The paper must be at least five to six pages long.
• You must turn in complete bibliographic citations for all work used.
• There will be a space on Blackboard for you to discuss your progress, or share a draft or outline.
See Page 2 for an example of how you can structure your Paper: It should include the following headings:

PAPER #2 – Literature Review (Guidelines & Rubric)
INTRODUCTION (10 points)
Introduce your topic – Example, The Communication Behavior of Professionals
State the reason or rationale for selecting the topic – Example, studying the communication
behavior of professionals will further my comprehension of the topic as I work on an upcoming
research project.
Compose a thesis statement that will disclose the types of literature that you are going to summarize – These seven articles represent seminal works in communication behavior. Their work influences the research of other communication theories and will serve as the foundation for a communication behavior framework I am designing for a future study.
