Writing Assignment – Literature Review, Discussion Section

 the discussion section of your literature review will discuss the final articles selected in your methods section.  This will be a discussion of the themes identified throughout your articles. For example, I am reviewing the literature on older adults and disaster preparedness.  I find 20 peer-reviewed journal articles.  The findings of these articles together might indicate there are several barriers to preparedness for older adults: financial, ability to go purchase items, storing preparedness items and ability to receive timely risk communications.  These would be the themes of my discussion and I would cite the articles that supported the themes.  

• Section III Discussion Section: This is the section where you summarize and discuss your final 
• 20 articles.  You will need to think critically about the data and help your readers understand patterns within these data.
