Blog #2: Writing Effective Literature Review

I currently have 15 sources so I am ready to start my literature review, which at this point i’m behind/late!! For me I need to get better with time management ! I know writing is not my strong point , yet I still wait until the very end to start !! I also think forming my question took awhile because I couldn’t choose a topic . But now that I’ve finally figured all that out, I need to jump in and play catch!

So far from my search for sources I think I will need to switch gears or go a broader direction because it was kind of hard finding relevant articles . I noticed a lot of articles focus on a specific race and violence when it comes to youth. I also noticed a new term is being used and it’s no longer after school, but after care. So searching with different terms to see I find more relevant articles.

I’ve always had a fear of research methods and I believe that is making me anxious and before I even try I’ve already made up my mind to think I failed. Research papers are hard and have way too much jargon! But I’ve gotten a little more understanding of them this time around, so I shouldn’t let my feelings get me to the point were my grade is affected .

I choose this picture because I feel as if I’m being asked to do so many different task from so many different people that I don’t even know where to begin !
