it's all about collecting basic information that you have found through secondary sources. like using internet, magazine, newspaper and so on. it should give you a basic information and give you knowledge on your irp topic. for example, if you are researching about parents forcing children to do sports, you find some articles or factual information on parents forcing children to do sports to support your understanding of the topic better and have basic knowledge before you actually start your own research (i.e. proceeding your reseach methodology do come up with the answer).

I'm also having trouble figuring out what an literature review actually entails. I guess it's mostly the basic layout that worries me.

Should we assess each peice of secondary information separately, or should we combine and summarise what we know from studying a heap of secondary sources?

id say combine & summarise.

i like to interpret lit reviews as a collaboration of secondary opinions/ideas/research/information that you have collected to help answer ur question. (e.g IRP q) i.e. WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT UR TOPIC?
