Stage 6 – Declan Dunham to Emma Reed

Overall, I think your project was excellent! The German refugee crisis is still an ongoing issue today. I believe you did a good job explaining the causes of this crisis, as well as, the effects of this crisis. However, there is a clear topic for this project, but not a clear thesis. You state that you are examining the refugee crisis and its relationship with the unemployment rate. What about the relationship? Here, I do not see a clear argument. 

It was very helpful to give the audience an understanding of this crisis. Your timeline was excellent and provided very important background information. Your first map offers a great insight into the exact amount of refugees coming into Europe. It is also a great way of showing exactly how many more refugees are coming into Germany. 

In your unemployment section, you did a good job of explaining the unemployment rate in Germany. The map you used to show the relationship between the foreign-born population and the unemployment rate worked very well. As the reader, you can clearly see the correlation between the two. 

As this is a History class, it would have been advantageous if you added a Historiography section to your project. This would allow me to see what perspective you are researching this from. It would also allow me to see any of the biases you may have implemented. 

Again, I thought this project was very thought-provoking as it would allow for the continued discourse on this topic.
