Literature Reviews

I hope that by now, you have identified some pieces of academic research as sources - remember that you found 3 when we did the class about planning research and using MyBib! If you are struggling to find any, try https://westkingmusicacademic.blogspot.com/ or ask me if still stuck. A top tip is looking at the bottom of a Wikipedia article to find the original sources.

A literature review should be a reflection upon a smallish piece of writing/source, not a whole book. It could be an academic article, a piece of music journalism, a chapter of a book, a podcast, a web resource...

You should do 5 literature reviews for your EXP and doing them at the start of the project will help you decide what is useful early on. You can then delve further into the sources later.

For each review, please read the source and then reflect using the following:

Where is the source from and what is it about?

Is it primary or secondary? How reliable is it?

What information from the source might be useful for your project (if any)?

Has it given you any further ideas that you might like to investigate/research further?

ADD IT TO MYBIB!!!!!!!!!!!

Please complete at least one of the literature reviews and submit to classroom so I can check you are on the right track and guide you if needs be.
