As a leader, you have a strong interest in encouraging understanding among people. Now you need to get a mental picture on how key issues resulted in Federation. Look closely at three main issues and find examples (facts, statistics, quotations etc) that you think provide important insights on the issues. After you've collected three examples for each issue, your job will be to put the information together into one statement that tells a "Truth" about that particular key issue related to Federation. You'll do this three times.
Exploring Examples to Discover the Truth
Then work your way through each of the three questions targeting key issues.
example 1: Use this example in support?
example 2: Use this example in support?
example 3: Use this example in support?
Based upon these specific examples, write a "Truth" that answers the question above.
Focusing your Argument: an Action Plan
By looking at the situation in Australia from one perspective, you have become an expert on Colonial issues. Your team (and the World Wide Web community) need your expert advice. In your opinion, what would have been the best way for the colonies to federate? In other words, what did they need to do to "make it happen?" Use the truths you have learned to make sure your plan is realistic for the time. Your Action Plan should be a clear statement about what should be done to encourage people to choose federation. It does not have to be long, but it should be thoughtful.
