7:25 Meet with your AR groups. Note: The groups may be rearranged based upon your predetermined action research groupings.

7:30 - 8:15 Read the brief lecture on the Big V format and the examples provided. There is a Powerpoint by Dr. Cowan from CSUS, and a sample literature review done by Mingo Greco and Ione Ringen.

In addition, "Casing" -some out-of-the-box thinking will provide further assistance in thinking about organizing subheadings or themes in your literature review.

Think about how you have organized (or will organize) your literature review. Use your word processor and write a paragraph in which you explain how your review is (will be) organized. Paste this paragraph into the text area in Tapped In when your leader indicates.

Remember: The text area of Tapped In will recognize paragraph returns. If you use more than one paragraph for your description, you'll need to copy and paste subsequent paragraphs separately.

8:15 - 9:00 Individuals or partners will present the organizational description of literature reviews to the small group and note comments. The recorder for the group needs to record particularly effective plans. These ideas will later be shared.

9:00 - 9:15 Take a break

9:15 - 9:30 In preparation for the final discussions tonight, check the remainder of the agenda for the evening.
