How to write an ONE page literature review on 8 references?

I am writing literature review for the proposal and i have about 8-10 references , but my faculty says that he wants ONE page on lit review, so do I write like a highly compressed summary for all references that I have picked or do I write only for those which do make a big impact on my research paper ?

The answer to your question is probably somewhere in between your two extremes. Discuss what's necessary to set the stage for your proposal. Spend more words on things that are more relevant. Remember that the purpose of a lit review for a proposal is to make the case that what you're proposing makes sense in the context of what we currently know, not to write a book report that demonstrates that you read everything.
