Your writing was clear and vivid; you explained some complex and nuanced topics clearly

Your writing was clear and vivid; you explained some complex and nuanced topics clearly and concisely.  While not exactly ordered by theme, I was able to follow the thread of the review thanks to your writing skills. I have few suggestions for the final: While you used neutral, objective language throughout the paper, some of it, nevertheless, reads more like a research paper than a literature review. In addition to the neutral language, you must be careful not to draw conclusions about your research questions but just report on the conclusions of your sources.
 For instance, you define terms quite often in the piece. This is helpful to ensure that your audience understands the context of certain words. It also provides a matter-of-fact way to transition from one source to the next without filling in commentary regarding whether a practice or outcome is good or bad.
You struggled a bit with transitions and resorted to things like “Also” and “Furthermore” to go on to the next article or theme. Writing good transitional sentences is difficult in the best of circumstances but doing so while maintaining a neutral position is even harder. This is where the matrix and themes can really help. If you know that your first two articles are mainly about theme 1, you can use that to write a topic sentence and use the next theme to write a transitional sentence.
In addition, to your themes, this review could be well-served by the Problem/Solution organization used in the video “How to Write a Literature Review in 30 Minutes or Less.”
Finally, the conclusion of the lit review is a bit of a misnomer–all you need to do in the conclusion is point to gaps in the literature–areas that require further research. 
Format is correct for in-text citations, but I did not see a list of References. Please submit this asap as I want to make sure that you have the proper number of scholarly sources.
 Let me know if you have questions. Please note: If you address these issues in the final, you can earn full points for the draft as well.
There are a few errors in the piece which can obscure your message and detract from your excellent work. Below, from page 3, is a sentence which seems to circle back in on itself – please proofread carefully for the final.
