Literature analysis: topic identification & bibliography template
(Use the following template for the completion of this assignment. Delete highlighted material and replace with your own material)
Proposed Topic:
In one sentence tell the reader what you plan on researching.
Proposed Thesis Statement:
Graduate writing cannot be "A" quality without a thesis statement. The thesis statement provides the destination of the paper. The topic/title of the paper will tell the reader which direction the essay is heading (N, S, E, or W) and a transition statement tells the reader the steps that will be taken to get to the destination. A strong conclusion cannot be written without a strong thesis statement. The thesis drives the conclusion. If you know beforehand what you are trying to accomplish, then in your conclusion you can tell if you have accomplished this goal or not.

Example:
Schmalleger, F. (2011). Criminal justice today: An introductory text for the 21st Century (11th ed.). Upper Saddle River, NY: Prentice Hall.
