    How will you organize your stuff?

    I just do everything digitally into separate folders and so forth. It's a bit more manageable that way I think.

    Belonging Speeches

    Yeah I totally agree. And in fact it may be to your advantage to have a text that is quite different to Immigrant Chronicle because when you go to do your synthesis, it's probably a bit better to highlight differences rather than similarities.
