3) Evaluate the article’s use of history. Here are some questions to consider:
How does the article use history to make its argument?
In what way does its use of history seem accurate or questionable?
Would the use of a primary source document change the analysis presented in the article?
Does the article rely on or contradict information contained in your textbook and scholarly secondary sources?
Does the article’s use of history seem overly selective?
Would a different historical example help prove the author’s point?
Is the use of history in this article too simple or too complex?
In what ways does this article address historical change or continuity?
