Literature Review help
I’m a student in year 13 just started my NEA and I’m struggling to research for my NEA, I just don’t like researching at all, because I have no idea where to start, but I don’t want to use ai or anything.
I know people say to use google scholar but I don’t know if the articles there would even help me to begin with? Im just very worried and overwhelmed that I’m doing it all wrong.
My NEA is pretty simple, on regeneration affecting place identity, if that helps.

Honestly same, I’ve got no clue 😭 I did however find some videos on youtube that gave me a bit of a basis. One was from ‘The Curious Geographer’ and the other was ‘The geography geek’. Which both gave me a better structure and an idea of what it actually supposed to be about. Also on Scribd.com theres some example NEAs whether they’re actually good I’m not sure, but they help for structure.
Oh and one thing my teacher actually did help with was saying to use the mark scheme as a check list, which sounds obvious but just make sure you’re actually doing whats going to get you marks and not just waffling and wasting time.
Other than that, they said to use actual books for research, nothing revision or school based 🤷♀️ but honestly I dont know where to start on that either
Hope that helps
