First, you want to begin with a brief explanation of the topic the author is writing about: what is the historical event, time period , people or group of people that the author is writing about?
Next, you want to present the author’s argument. What is the author trying to prove in the article or chapter? How does the author want to portray the event they are writing about? Why or how does this event occur? Also, what is significant about their argument? For example, is the author countering someone else’s point? Or adding a new perspective we haven’t heard?
Then, what evidence does the author use to support their argument: For example, what types of documents? Or interviews? or physical evidence? Whose points of view do these documents reveal? Explain the author’s best example(s)?
Finally, include an analysis of your own. What new perspective does the argument provide you?
