1. Finding Sources: Which two journal articles did you select and how did you find them? What are their topics and arguments? Introduce each source and provide a short summary of the topics and arguments the scholars make in each journal article. Explain how you searched for the sources using both Omni and Google Scholar. Provide details so someone could replicate your search.
2. Consulting the authors' literature reviews: What literature (existing scholarship) did the authors consult? Refer to the literature review sections of both articles. If there isn't a designated literature section, see parts of the work that refer to other scholarly sources. What literature or secondary sources do the authors review for their research? Describe the literature that was consulted by referring to particular disciplines, concepts, and other scholars that the authors refer to. Please include evidence from the sources (and cite) to illustrate.
3. Reflection: In general, what is the purpose of researchers reviewing literature? More specifically, in your selected articles, how did the researchers' review of the literature shape their work? Refer to relevant lecture and reading material regarding the purpose of literature reviews. Refer to evidence from your selected articles to show how the scholars used the literature to inform their own research practices.
