Dotti22 Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Hi For my extended essay topic I have come up with the research question: To what extent has the resettlement of refugees in Australia been successful? I was hoping for any feedback on the topic and whether it is too broad and ideas to refine it. I also know that for geography, primary sources are essential and was wondering if anyone had any ideas except for interviews. Thanks in advance!

Rosalina Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Be more specific. Refugees from what country? What type of refugee are they? Keep in mind that if this particular group of refugees has migrated to Australia within the past decade or so, you are not allowed to do your EE topic on it. Some examples of primary sources applicable here would be memoirs/diaries/journals/letters/autobiographies. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it would still apply, regardless of the subject. It would be best to confirm this with your IB coordinator. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
