DON'T YOU JUST HATE INFORMATION CHAOS!! Use De Bono's six thinking hats to help you organise your data, decide what's important, what's missing, and what to toss.  Here are some questions you can apply to the topic.  

	Have I got enough information? Where can I get more information? How much of this information is pertinent? Have I researched widely?
	How must it feel to be an immigrant? How long would it take to feel 'at home' in another country? How must Australian-born children of immigrants bridge two cultures? How would third, fourth, etc., generation Australian-born children feel about the country of their heritage (any cultural baggage left?) How does my migrant group cope with living in Australia?
	Are there any gaps in the data I have collected? Is the data I have collected representative of the ethnic group, or only a small portion? What are the difficulties which immigrants experience in Australia? Are these difficulties short-term/long-term?
	What are the benefits of migration for my ethnic group? How do migrant cultures benefit Australia?
	What sorts of clubs and organisations have been formed by my migrant group in Australia? What are the outward signs of the presence of my ethnic group in Australia?  (e.g. community halls, shops, signage, media coverage) Is communication maintained with the 'home country'?  How? Is 'Australianess? dynamic (constantly changing) or static (never changing)?
	Have I 'glossed over' this question or really 'given it my best shot'? Now that I have collected this information, what will my answer be to the question 'What Does it Mean to be Australian?' How should I structure my contribution to the group's argument?  Introduction?  Individual topics?  Conclusion?  Lead in to next speaker? How can my group of 6 structure our talk?
