This discussion topic is designed to provide you the opportunity to examine a Six-Source Essay and a Multi-Source Essay/Literature Review written by previous students in WRTG 391. Exploring a set of papers in this way can help you crystallize your thoughts and hone in on your topic as you complete your literature review for this class. In the Week 7 Learning Resources, on page 3, you will sample sets of papers for WRTG 391 from previous students. These sets of papers are grouped into topic areas, with three (3) papers in each set. Please download one set of three papers . Peruse the Six-Source Essay and Multi-Source Essay/Literature Review papers in the set. Then answer the following questions: 1. Did the student expand his or her topic from the Six-Source essay to the Multi-Source essay? Or did the student narrow his or her topic from the Six- Source Essay to the Multi-Source Essay/Literature Review? 2. Compare the Six Source Essay to the Multi-Source Essay. What challenges do you think the student encountered as he or she proceeded from the initial essay to the final paper? 3. In the literature review, did the student cite more than one source in each category? Comment on one of the categories and describe how the student synthesized the sources.

As I compare the student’s Six Source Essay and Multi-Source Essay, the first challenge that the student faced is organization. In the final paper, the student divided the body paragraphs into categories and added headers to each section. Another challenge I think the student encountered is the limit in developing ideas in the Six Source Essay. It is clear to see in the Multi-Source Essay that the student adds more information from new additional sources to their paper. 3. In the literature review, the student cited more than one source in each category. One of the categories in the author’s paper is “Social and Emotional Support for ESL Learners.” They presented ideas/opinions from Cho et al. (2019) and Souto-Manning (2016) to support the main idea.
