Suppose an essay requires the use of five scholarly articles but the body paragraphs must be discussed in the form of a literature review, can someone explain how this would be done?

Do I just discuss the articles that I will be using for the research question that I'm attempting to investigate further?

Here's how I'd organize such a paper:

I. Introduction (written last, not first) with your research question at the end.
II. Review one article and analyze it.
III. Review another article and analyze it.
IV. Review a third article and analyze it.
V. Review the fourth article and analyze it.
VI. Review the last article and analyze it.
V. Conclusion

Sections II through VI might take at least 2 paragraphs to review and analyze each one.
