WHAT QUESTION DID YOU HOPE TO ANSWER BY COMPLETING THIS LITERATURE REVIEW PAPER?

Assignment 1: LASA # 2: PowerPoint Presentation
Utilizing the information you compiled for your
literature review paper, and the feedback you received from your instructor
about the literature review, prepare a 10-15 minute Power Point presentation on
your topic, summarizing the key points and conclusions. Be sure to direct this
presentation to an audience in the community. For example, if your paper
pertained to a topic in developmental psychology, direct your presentation
toward parents, or a parentingcenter. If your topic pertained to substance abuse, direct it
toward a community service agency which may use this information for educating
teens or parents about preventing drug use, or current clients about treatments
and facilities available. Please state in your presentation the specific
audience toward whom your presentation is aimed. Include a reference page in
APA format, as well as speaker notes and an audio file with your presentation.
Your slides should provide answers to the following
questions:
What was your topic?
What question did you hope to answer by completing this
literature review paper? Explain the practical implications of the conclusions
of the literature review and the audience to which they are directed.
Given the results of your literature review, what is/are
the prevailing argument(s)? In other words, which of those is supported by the
existing evidence? Be sure to include full coverage of the arguments, including
strengths and weaknesses of each of them, supported by your findings from
reviewing the relevant articles.
Did the researchers consider multicultural factors in
their studies? If not, what factors may be involved? What multicultural factors
should future studies include?
What ethical issues are related to your topic and/or
discussed in the studies you reviewed?
How do the conclusions of your literature review relate
to the various specialization areas in psychology? Tie them to as many as apply
from the following areas: biological, cognitive, developmental, social,
personality theory, psychopathology, and applied psychology.
How can the conclusions of your literature review inform
the population towards whom your presentation is directed? How can they apply
this information to their daily lives? What advice or take home message can
you provide to your audience based on the research you reviewed?
What research question could you ask in order to further
develop this area of study?
Why is your research question important and relevant to
the current work being done on your topic?
Your presentation should also follow these guidelines:
It should be approximately 10-15 minutes in length.
It should be clear, concise, and professional.
Writing should be free of spelling and grammatical errors; it should conform to
current APA style (including any in-text citations).
It should include graphs, tables, figures, or images
illustrating your ideas.
There should be a final slide listing references in
current APA style.
The bulk of the text should be placed in the Notes pages
of each slide. Keep the amount of text on the slide, itself, to a minimum.
You should record an audio file of your oral
presentation. You should also type the text of the speech you would give while
showing these slides to an audience should be typed into the Notes area.
If you are unable to use the audio feature, the Notes text will suffice.
You can refer to the Power Point tips document provided
in the Doc Sharing section of the course.

What were your reasons for researching it? What did you find out? How did you discern valid sources from invalid ones? What kinds of sources did you use? Why? Feel free to choose any experience. You do not have to limit yourself to an academic research topic. You might reflect upon research that you did for your job, or before making purchase, particularly something big like a new computer or smart phone or a new/used car.Question # 2Annotated BibliographyFollow the directions below for the completion of the Annotated Bibliography assignment.1. Purpose: The purpose of the annotated bibliography is to summarize the sources that you have gathered to support your research proposal project. These summaries help you to think about the complex arguments presented in your sources.2. Description: In this assignment, you will create an annotated bibliography consisting of seven sources. Each entry will consist of a reference list citation, a summary of the source’s information, and a one-sentence assessment. Each annotation should be between 150 to 200 words. If an entry is shorter than 150 words, it is likely you have not fully developed your summary, and this lack of development can severely impact your grade for this assignmentRunning head: TITLE OF PAPER (DO NOT EXCEED 50 CHARACTERS) The title should summarize the papers main idea and identify the variables under discussion and the relationship between them.
