Overview: Using mentor or model texts is a strategy to improve your own writing.  The New York Times describes mentor texts as, "Demystifying the writing process via examples students can learn from and emulate." In this assignment, you will locate a mentor text in the form of a dissertation that may or may not be similar to your own topic to use as a model while you write your chapter 2.  It is most helpful to find a dissertation with a literature review similar to your own, but if that is not possible, you may look for the next best option.
