The Proposal requires a five-page Literature Review rather than an Outline for a Literature Review. But an outline may make the task a bit easier.
Found this outline from Western Oregon University. I also found these videos by David Taylor at the University of Maryland University College for a straight-forward explanation of how to do a literature review: Part 1 and Part 2. Taylor also has a Part 3, but it is designed specifically for his students (the dog entering the video provides a little comic relief). But he does provided a little insight on a literature review outline in this one.
I wrote a few pages of the literature review over the holidays. I've got over 200 pieces of literature to plow through, however, as the actual dissertation will have 40 to 50 pages devoted solely to the review of the literature. Dr. S says that this will make me the foremost expert on the topic. I think that's pretty cool.
I think that I will have all of the sections completed - except for the 5-page literature review - done by April 1st. The review is going to take a little extra time. Plus, it's been two months since I tried to tackle that, so I've got to go back to my notes and David Taylor's YouTube videos for a bit of a refresh.
