Description
1,000 – 1,200-word literature review draft that advances the current state of knowledge on your selected topic in an organized pattern.
At least six sources are required for this Intermediate Draft. Your six sources should include a combination of public and scholarly sources.
The following steps will help you to further develop your Part 2 Intermediate Draft:
- Consider your purpose in writing the literature review: to demonstrate your understanding of the current state of thinking on your research topic by synthesizing various viewpoints and logically organizing information.
- You will aim for a clear and cohesive essay that integrates those key issues and literature details that reveal the current state of knowledge on your research topic.
- Begin with a creative title that reflects the current state of knowledge of your research topic.
- In the introduction, explain the overarching focus of your literature review and establish why your research topic being reviewed is important. Conclude your introduction with your thesis statement, the sentence or two that reveals the current state of knowledge.
- Divide the body of your literature review into the key issues and sub-issues you identified in your analysis of the current literature. As a reminder, these key issues and sub-issues represent the major themes, points, topics, important trends, intersections, and findings about which researchers agree or disagree. The key issues/sub-issues will represent an organized section of the literature review and will be used as a path for further discussion in the body of your literature review.
- Introduce each key issue/sub-issue with a topic sentence that describes the synthesis. Details that follow the topic sentence should describe the literature and include source identification and evidence in the form of examples, brief quotes, and paraphrases.
- Be sure to use clear transitions as you introduce sub-issues and sources.
- Provide source citations according to the required guidelines.
- Write a conclusion to your literature review that highlights the presented evidence and that demonstrates any possibilities for future research/action.
- Proofread your literature review.
Helpful Hints
- Focus on analysis, rather than a summary/description of what research has been done.
- Divide body sections into key issues/sub-issues, rather than on the individual work of the researchers.
- Review the topic sentences of each paragraph to be sure that they link back to your thesis and demonstrate a logical progression of ideas and evidence from beginning to end.
The thesis should relate to the four topic issues.

The Energy Crisis
Introduction
The energy crisis is one of the greatest problems the world has ever faced. This
phenomenon has significantly been propagated by the continued burning of fossil fuels
and non-renewable energy sources as well. A study on the effects this has on the
environment is fundamental to ensuring that the general public is made aware or rather
knowledgeable in a bid to curb the crisis and preserve our environment. The purpose of
this literature review is to show and explain the impact of the energy crisis on the
environment using several sources that will support the major arguments made.
Energy Crisis and its Impact on the Environment
Energy is essential in our daily life and having a shortage in supply of energy can
cause many problems and result in harming the environment. Therefore, we should cope
with alternative or renewable solutions to save the environment from harm. Given that
almost everyone on the globe needs energy in at least one aspect of their lives, energy
sources are bound to get depleted. This has been major because of the industrial
revolution and rapid population growth, all of which utilize fossil fuels. As such, the
environment has been on the receiving end in terms of the provision of energy in an area
that has had its fossil fuel depleted. According to Panwar et al., (2018) renewable energy
sources have a contribution they make to the environment in terms of curbing the
negative effects of climate change because they are considered clean sources of energy
and hence have a minimal negative effect on the environment. They are also sustainable
and are easily available. Ivan’s (2018) work focused on California and its efforts to

implement the use of renewable energy and protect the environment in return. A special
emphasis is made on the conversion of 100% carbon-free clean energy a factor that goes
to show that the energy crisis is propagated by the use of carbon-emitting fuels. Lastly,
Ibrahim (2000) articulates that the use of renewable energy sources is a major strategy
towards managing the energy crisis. Using renewable energy means a single source can
be used more than once and so we don’t have to retrieve energy from the environment
each time we need it. With this strategy in place, the crisis is effectively managed.
The Sources of Renewable Energy
There are many types of renewable sources of energy that can provide our
government with clean energy. These are the energy sources that governments should
encourage their citizens to adopt so as to minimize environmental degradation by
depleting our natural energy resources. Rinkesh (2017) highlights ten different energy
sources as solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, hydrogen energy, tidal energy,
wave energy, hydroelectric en...
